Bethany Bullet - March 31, 2015

We've come to the end of our Lenten pilgrimage and thus we've also said our final “amen” to our Lenten Series the Prayer of Our Lord. 

Hopefully one thing has become very true for us…that is, the Lord’s Prayer can rightly be called “our prayer.” 

These words do give form and structure to any communication we would have with heaven and the God who has granted us access and relationship with Himself through The One who so taught us to pray. 

At the same time these words speak volumes for us when we don’t know what to say.  Since these words are Jesus’ words – they are perfect! 

Yet, He invites His disciples to make these words their own.  As we speak them together in worship, offer them up with members of our own family, or speak them silently throughout our days – may we become more and more certain that the Prayer of Our Lord’s is a prayer of ours.  Thus, even though we can speak them without thought, may they move us to reflect more deeply on what we seek, and what He in grace provides.
