Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be Thy name; Thy kingdom come; Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread; and forgive us for our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us; and lead us not into temptation; but deliver us from evil.

1. Our Father, who art in Heaven, hallowed by Thy name
   1. Having a heavenly Father means that we are a part of the family of God. Through Jesus, we can receive eternal life and adoption into God’s family. This comes with many implications. As God’s children, we know that we are loved
   2. God’s name is [sacred and holy] and [esteemed, repected, held in high regard tinged with awe]
2. Thy Kingdom come
   1. To pray Thy Kingdom Come means to invite God’s will into the world and to be open to what God wants for your life. It is also looking forward to Jesus’ Second Coming to fully establish God’s reign. It’s a prayer that summarizes the entire Bible and what God wants to do on the earth.
3. Thy will be done on Earth as it is in Heaven
   1. We ask God to save us from any unwillingness to learn God’s will and embrace God’s kingdom; to save us from choosing our own plans and desires; and to save us from trying to limit the scope of God’s purposes.
4. Give us this day our daily bread
   1. [Word of God and Revelation]
5. Forgive us our trespasses as we {should} forgive those who trespass against us
   1. [sins, wrong-doing]
   2. We should forgive others as God forgives us.  It is not that God forgives us as we forgive others.  God forgives totally, forgets the trespass, and does it every time we trespass and repent.
6. Lead us not into temptation
   1. [enticement, allurement]
7. Deliver us from Evil
   1. [morally wrong or bad, harmful,detrimental]
8. In Jesus name
   1. Jesus repeatedly taught His disciples to pray in His name (John 14:13–14; 15:16; 16:23–24).
   2. Praying in his name is to acknowledge and remember that Christ is the only way—that our standing before the Father is based on the finished work of Christ alone. We come to him in prayer, not because of our own works or merit, but in the name of Jesus. That preposition “in” is a significant one.
9. Amen
   1. [it is so, so be it]
