It is the simplest, most perfect, and profound prayer ever given to man and it holds within it the keys to the Kingdom of God.

And Jesus Christ taught us to pray, saying:
Our Father, which art in Heaven,
Hallowed be Thy Name.
Thy kingdom come.
Thy will be done in earth, as it is in Heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread.
And forgive us our trespasses,
As we forgive them that trespass against us.
And leave us not in temptation,
But deliver us from evil.
For thine is the kingdom,
The power and the glory,
For ever and ever. Amen.


It is the simplest, most perfect, and profound prayer ever given to man and it holds within it the keys to the Kingdom of God. Its perfect fulfilment by man would bring the whole world into a paradise of peace. It is a prayer which is spoken by millions of people every day. But unfortunately, its wonder-working power is mainly lost because the words are usually spoken without a glowing realization of the release of God's Love and Will for us. It is not enough to pray in a repetitive fashion, because the words lose their meaning, and without faith in the implication of what we say, prayer is as ineffectual as a giant locomotive with the throttle closed.

Therefore, let us pray as our Lord Jesus Christ must have prayed. Let us place ourselves in His mind, and pour out from our souls this mighty prayer of faith, through which we are lifted into the very presence of our Father, recognizing and believing that He responds immediately to our worship, love and faith.
