Luke 11.1-4.
Luke 11.1-4 KWL - 1 It happened while Jesus was praying in a certain place:
- Once he finished, one of his students told him, “Master, teach us to pray,
- like John the baptist taught his students.”
- 2 Jesus told them, “When you pray, say: ‘Father!
- Sanctify your name. Bring your kingdom. 3 Give us bread for the day, daily.
- 4 Forgive us of our sins, for we ourselves forgive everyone who owes us.
- Don’t bring us into tribulation!’”
You’ll also notice when Jesus taught it, he prefaced it with, “When you pray, say…”
Are we to take Jesus
’Cause maybe you just realized a whole lot of the very same folks who claim, “We need to believe and follow everything in the bible literally, or we’re not truly bible-believing Christians” in fact don’t pray the Lord’s Prayer every single time they pray. They tend to be much bigger fans of extemporaneous prayer.
Weren’t they supposed to begin every single one of their off-the-cuff prayers with the Lord’s Prayer? Aren’t we all?
Think about that for a few minutes. I’ll wait.

No, seriously. I’ll be back in the next section.
