PRAYING THE LORD'S MODEL PRAYER
I can't say "OUR FATHER" unless I've been born again into God's family. (John 1: 12)
I can't say "HALLOWED BE YOUR NAME" unless Christ has first priority in my own life.
I can't say "YOUR WILL BE DONE ON EARTH" unless I am committed to doing his will all the time.
I can't say "GIVIE US TODAY OUR DAILY BREAD" without a willingness to share it with those in need around the world.
I can't say "FORGIVE US OUR DEBTS" if I am holding onto an unforgiving attitude toward others.
I can't say "LEAD US NOT INTO TENDTATION" if I continue to expose myself to compromising situations.
I can't say "DELIVER US FROM EVIL" unless I really desire to walk with integrity and purity.
