Top Highlights
“First, you will magnify God each day, which means you are praying, ‘Hallowed be Thy name.’ As you worship God each day, you grow as a Christian because you are learning about Him … you are becoming comfortable around Him … you learn what He expects of you.” (Page 31)
“When you pray ‘Give us bread,’ you are bringing God into humanity’s daily struggle for survival. When you pray ‘Forgive us our debts,’ you bring Him into your daily struggle with sin. When you pray ‘Lead us not into temptation,’ you bring Him into your struggle for victory. When you pray ‘Deliver us from the evil one,’ you bring God into your struggle for protection.” (Page 130)
“second petition, ‘Thy kingdom come …,’ you are asking for help in living each day by Kingdom rules” (Page 19)
“When you pray ‘Thy kingdom come,’ first you are inviting God to rule in your heart by His principles. That makes His kingdom internal and personal. He is your personal King and you are His subject. You are praying, ‘Thy kingdom rule in my heart, as Thy kingdom is ruled in heaven.’” (Pages 77–78)
“because we need to be forgiven not only for our sins, but also their consequences—the obligations we have incurred” (Page 148)
