Unleashing the Lord’s Prayer into Changing My Life Today
Matthew 6:9-13
Jesus summarized the seven key areas each of us who follow Him should pay close attention to each day. Please open to that summary Jesus Himself gave to us in Matthew 6:9-13. This passage is what we commonly know in the English-speaking world as the Lord’s Prayer.
SEVEN VITAL SIGNS OF SPIRITUAL HEALTH
But as you look at Christ’s words, think about what we have in our possession.
We have the actual call from Christ, for each of us to monitor regularly, what we can call the vital signs of our spiritual health.
Plus, Jesus tied monitoring these seven vital areas to the ceaseless habit of prayer. Note what all of our Bibles say:
“After this manner pray” (KJV); “In this manner therefore pray” (NKJV); “Pray then like this” (ESV); “Pray, then, in this way” (NIV): and “This, then, is how you should pray” (NIV).
All versions capture the clear, simple, direct command of Jesus Christ. “Pray Like This" saying that each time we pray, we each remind ourselves of these elements in our life. We could call the Lord’s Prayer:
CHRIST’S CHECKLIST FOR DAILY SPIRITUAL HEALTH
Simply stated, the Lord’s Prayer is a pattern for us, a check list for our daily spiritual health. Living a healthy, useful life each day is built around these key elements:
1. Daily Worship of Almighty God: Our Father
2. Daily Consecration of My Body: Thy Kingdom Come
3. Daily Submission to God’s Will: Thy Will Be Done
4. Daily Reliance on God’s Provision: Give Us This Day
5. Daily Cleansing of My Relationships: Forgive Us As We Forgive
6. Daily Protection of My Mind: Deliver Us From Evil
7. Daily Seeking to God’s Glory: Thine Is The Glory
SIMPLE TRUTHS, DAILY RENEWED IN MY LIFE
