9 “This, then, is how you should pray: “‘Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your name, 10 your kingdom come, your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven. 11 Give us today our daily bread. 12 And forgive us our debts, as we also have forgiven our debtors. 13 And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from the evil one.’ (Matthew 6:9 – 13, New International Version)

Context:
Thanks to all who responded to the question yesterday! It is clear that the Lord’s Prayer reveals what Jesus cares about. The responses that you shared provide a list that we can test ourselves against. Do our prayers demonstrate that we care about what Jesus cares about?
Today is dedicated to reviewing what we have learned over the past five days. We spent this week reflecting on prayers that exhibit passion. We reviewed prayers in the Old and New Testaments, and then we focused on what Jesus had to say about prayer. Isn’t it good to know that Jesus has invested so much in ensuring we know how to pray?
As you review the discussions from this week, please consider catching up on any comments you may have missed.
Question:
As you reflect on the discussions we engaged in this week, are there any revelations that help you guard against prayer without passion?
Please leave a comment. We would love to hear from you.
