"Our Father which art in Heaven"
1) "Hallowed be thy name." All creatures must glorify Him and acknowledge Him as our Creator and Savior.
2) "Thy Kingdom Come". The Lord tells us to expect his second coming with joy and gladness because it is as certain as the first.
3) "Thy will be done on Earth as it is in heaven." Remember that we should do the Lord's will even when we are going through valleys of deep darkness and harsh tests.
4) "Give us this day our daily bread". Do not forget that in our daily bread come all of our needs and we should be grateful every day.
5) "And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors." Remember that we must forgive 70 x 7 and if we do not forgive those who trespass against us, God will not forgive our trespasses.
6) "And lead us not into temptation". It is very clear that we have an enemy called Satan; therefore we must ask the Lord for help because we cannot defend ourselves.
7) "But deliver us from evil". Finally, this prayer teaches us to ask the Lord to protect us from all the evil of this world.
I hope that when you pray this prayer, do not do it like a parrot, repeating it without purpose, but thinking of the seven teachings, as all are very important.
Also do not forget this: God is love, and whoever remains in love remains in God and God in him. God's hand will not move because of your need, but because of your faith. The nice thing about a family is not being together, but united in love. The best part of your life is when you pray because you talk to who loves you, God.
