Our Father
Who art in heaven,
hallowed be Your name;
Your kingdom come;
Your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread.
And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors.
And lead us not into temptation but deliver us from evil.
For Yours is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, forever. Amen.

Hear the Westminster Shorter Catechism on The Lord’s Prayer:

Q. 98. What is prayer?
A. Prayer is bringing our desires before God, asking for things that agree with His will, in the name of Jesus Christ, while confessing our sins and giving thanks for His mercies.
Q. 99. What guidance has God given us for prayer?
A. All of God’s Word teaches us how to pray, but our special guide is the prayer Jesus taught His disciples, commonly called the Lord’s Prayer.
Q. 100. What does the opening of the Lord’s Prayer teach us?
A. The opening, “Our Father in heaven,” teaches us to approach God with holy reverence and confidence, as children approaching a loving Father who is both able and willing to help us. It also teaches us to pray with and for others.
Q. 101. What do we ask for in the first petition?
A. In the first petition, “Hallowed be Your name,” we ask God to enable us and others to honor and glorify Him in everything through which He makes Himself known, and to direct all things toward His own glory.
Q. 102. What do we ask for in the second petition?
A. In the second petition, “Your kingdom come,” we pray that Satan’s kingdom will be destroyed, that God’s kingdom of grace will advance, that we and others will be brought into it and kept in it, and that the coming of His kingdom in glory will be hastened.
Q. 103. What do we ask for in the third petition?
A. In the third petition, “Your will be done on earth as it is in heaven,” we ask God, by His grace, to make us willing and able to know, obey, and submit to His will in all things, just as the angels do in heaven.
Q. 104. What do we ask for in the fourth petition?
A. In the fourth petition, “Give us this day our daily bread,” we ask God to provide, as a gift of His grace, what we need for this life and to bless us in the enjoyment and use of what He provides.
Q. 105. What do we ask for in the fifth petition?
A. In the fifth petition, “Forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors,” we ask God to freely forgive all our sins for the sake of Jesus Christ. We are encouraged to ask this because God’s grace also enables us to forgive others sincerely and from the heart.
Q. 106. What do we ask for in the sixth petition?
A. In the sixth petition, “And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil,” we ask God to protect us from temptations that would lead us into sin, or to strengthen, sustain, and deliver us when we face temptation.
Q. 107. What does the conclusion of the Lord’s Prayer teach us?
A. The conclusion, “For Yours is the kingdom and the power and the glory forever. Amen,” teaches us to place our confidence in God alone when we pray, praising Him and acknowledging that all kingdom, power, and glory belong to Him. By saying “Amen,” we express both our sincere desire for what we have prayed and our confidence that God hears our prayers.
