The Lord's Prayer (Broken Down!)

*The Lord's Prayer*

Our Father~We call Him "Father," a term only His children by faith may rightly use. Shows a personal relationship with God.
Who art in heaven~A faithful and confident belief that God and His throne live amongst heaven.
Hallowed be thy name~Giving special honor,devotion,and worship because of God's gracious redemption.
Thy kingdom come~We acknowledge and expect that God is the ruler of the world.
Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven~Submission; knowing that what you put in will later be given back to you
Give us this day,our daily bread~Requesting our own needs.
And forgive us our debts~Confessing that you are a sinner, and repent for your sins.
As we forgive our debtors~Compassionately forgiving others for their shortcomings.
And lead us not into temptation,but deliver us from evil~Relying on God when temptation occurs.
For thine is the kingdom,& the power,& the glory forever~Realizing that God has all the power forever!!!

*Matthew 6:5-15
