“Pray, then, in this way: ‘Our Father who is in heaven, hallowed be Your name…’”
— Matthew 6:9 NASB1995
🙏 The Pattern, Not Just a Prayer
Jesus gives us the Lord’s Prayer as a model, not just a script. It teaches us who God is, what He deserves, what we need, and how to relate to others. It moves from worship to surrender, from provision to forgiveness.
Each phrase can shape our prayers. When we pray as Jesus taught, we align our hearts with the priorities of the Kingdom.
🔗 Ante-Nicene Reflection
The early Church regularly recited the Lord’s Prayer, not as vain repetition but as a guide for living and praying. It was the foundation of their spiritual rhythm.
💭 Reflect
- Do I rush through this prayer, or let it reshape me?
- Which part of this prayer speaks most to my heart today?
✨ Prayer
Father, teach me to pray like Jesus. Let this prayer shape my thoughts, desires, and trust in You. Amen.

I’m a follower of Christ, learning daily to walk the narrow path laid out in His Word. Through Rooted & Raised: Anchoring Women & Children in Christ, I simply seek to point others back to Scripture, tested by the Holy Spirit, lived out in faith, and anchored in truth.
● This space isn’t about lofty theology or grand platforms. It’s about humble obedience, Kingdom living, and helping others, especially women and families, rediscover the kind of faith that bears fruit, costs something, and reflects the love of Christ. My heart is to encourage others as I learn, grow, and surrender alongside them.
