Comfort in the Lord’s prayer

Matthew 6:9-13 NLT
[9] Pray like this:

Our Father in heaven, may your name be kept holy.
May your Kingdom come soon.
May your will be done on earth, as it is in heaven.
Give us today the food we need,
and forgive us our sins, as we have forgiven those who sin against us.
And don’t let us yield to temptation, but rescue us from the evil one.
For Yours is the kingdom, The power, and the glory,
For ever and ever. Amen.

The Lord’s Prayer is one of the prayers of the Bible that can give us comfort and peace.

I have found that it speaks to me over and over again. Depending on how I am feeling or what is going on in my life, I find different parts become the focus.

Sometimes it is about focussing on God and honouring Him. Sometimes it is about asking for provision. And other times I might be struggling with temptation or need forgiveness.

Most of all I like that is starts and ends with God. It starts with honouring God and it ends with declaring His power and glory. This is where peace enters my soul. It puts God in His rightful place and reminds me that He is my provider and my all in all.
