Reflection:
“The Lord’s Prayer” serves as a blueprint for how we should approach God in prayer. It encompasses adoration, submission to God’s will, petitions for provision, forgiveness, guidance, and deliverance.
By singing this prayer, especially in its original language, we connect more intimately with its meaning and with the global body of believers. It reminds us of our shared heritage and the universal need for God’s kingdom to come and His will to be done.
Prayer:
“Avinu shebashamayim (Our Father in heaven), we honor Your holy name. May Your kingdom come, and Your will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Provide for our needs, forgive our sins as we forgive others, and lead us not into temptation but deliver us from evil. For Yours is the kingdom, the power, and the glory forever. Amen.”
