"Living the Lord's Prayer"

Please Read Luke 11:1-4

These are some thoughts taken from the postscript of David Timm's book, "Living the Lord's Prayer".
I just loved it and decided that his words didn't need any of mine added in! ~ Kari Levang

The Lord's Prayer represents the deepest commitment of the human life imaginable. Frank Lauback put it this way:

"The Lord's Prayer is the most used and the least understood. People think they are asking God for something. They are not--they are offering God something....The Lord's Prayer is not a prayer to God to do something we want done. It is more nearly God's prayer to us, to help Him do what He wants done....The Lord's Prayer is not intercession. It is enlistment."

We don't pray the Prayer to solicit God's attention. We pray it to catch our own. In a world buried in the malaise of mediocrity, waist-deep in complacency, and swamped by our self-centeredness, the Prayer calls us to transformation. And as our lives conform to the plan and design of the Father, we discover that in giving everything, we lose nothing.

As you live the Prayer, may you know the unfolding joy of His presence and the wonder of His transforming power.
