Opis

When the disciples asked Jesus to teach them to pray, Jesus taught them fifty-three words which we call The Lord's Prayer. It's a relatively short prayer, as prayers go, but I believe Jesus chose his words carefully, packing this brief prayer with deep meaning. But, how often have we raced through this all too familiar prayer without focusing on the meaning of each line? Would our spiritual experience be deepened if we recited this prayer slowly, pausing to contemplate the message within? For the past two years I have tried this more methodical approach to The Lord's Prayer, beginning each day by saying this prayer, slowly out loud. It has made a big difference for me and it has strengthened my relationship with God. As I began to write this devotional, very deep, personal feelings started to pour out. And so, this devotional is also my story, from childhood dreams, through heartbreak, from anger and resentment, to acceptance and a still growing faith. All, thanks be to God. I invite you to start each day by reciting the Lord's Prayer, slowly. Feel recharged and focused to face each day and all its triumphs and disappointments. So here is The Lord's Prayer, written slowly. Take a little extra time and reflect on each line. Don't be in a hurry. That will make all the difference.
