The Lord's Prayer

The Lord's Prayer is a model Jesus gave to His disciples to teach them how to pray.
It is not a list of what to pray, but a manner of how to pray.
It is a pattern of how to present ourselve to the Lord and lay hold of His promises.
It can be used in any circumstance and to meet any need.

Pray the Lord's Prayer, but take an hour to do it.

That may seem difficult, but it really isn't because we have the Holy Spirit to help us.

When beginning, don't be in a hurry.
Take time and pray slowly.

In doing so, we may find that we feel a desire to expand on some particular points.
That is the Holy Spirit prompting us and if we listen carefully, He will give us the words to pray back to the Father.
Go with this as far as the Spirit leads.

When we come to the end, we must quietly  contemplate what the Spirit has given.

If we wish, we can pick up the prayer where we left off, and continue until the Spirit gives us more.
When we come to the end of our devotional time, we just simply thank and praise God and welcome His healing power at work in our lives.
