The GREAT Prayer... The FIRST Petition

Jesus introduced the Lord’s Prayer during his Sermon on the Mount (Matthew) and in response to a disciple’s request to teach them how to pray (Luke). He provided this prayer as a model for how to communicate with God, emphasizing simplicity, sincerity, and the importance of aligning one’s will with God’s.
Structure and Content:
The prayer is carefully structured into seven petitions, each addressing different aspects of spiritual and daily life. These petitions cover praise, submission to God’s will, provision of daily needs, forgiveness, guidance, and protection from evil.
