Luke chapter 11, verses 2 through 4.

And Jesus said to them, when you pray, say,

Father, hallowed be your name.

Your kingdom come.

Give us each day our daily bread and forgive us our sins for we

ourselves forgive everyone who is indebted to us and lead us not into temptation

so this is Luke's recounting of Jesus teaching on the Lord's prayer.

And I just want to give you really quickly, like a way to remember what Jesus taught us to pray for in this prayer.

So they all start with G.

So four Gs that Jesus just told us to pray for.

When you pray, say, Father, hallowed be your name, your kingdom come.

So the first thing we ask God for in prayer is His glory.

That's the first G.

Hallowed be your name.

That's not just an inscription of praise to God.

That's not just saying I worship you, God.

That's praying for God to be glorified throughout the world, for his kingdom to come, for

his glory to spread over the earth like the waters cover the sea. We ask God

for his glory. Second, we ask God for his gifts. Give us each day our daily bread. We in prayer

ask God for his provision for our needs, for our daily needs.

This is part of what we do in prayer is just lift up our hearts to God for asking him for his gifts.
