The Lord's Prayer ends with this rather strange statement. Are we asking the Lord Himself not to tempt us? Is He the source of the temptations that afflict us? How are we to understand this phrase?
This line from the Lord's Prayer seems straightforward, but why does Christ say "forgive our trespasses" instead of "forgive our sins"? This has great significance and may be the most important line of all. Our salvation depends upon how we respond to this instruction.

This line of the Lord's Prayer has many levels of meaning. The interpretation of one word in particular, rendered in the King James Bible as "daily," has sometimes been interpreted by the Fathers differently. Are we asking for ordinary food? Join the discussion!

Why ask for the "coming" of God's kingdom? Is that a wish for the Second Coming or a call for us to make the kingdom present? Can God's will not be done but opposed? Join our continued discussion of the Lord's Prayer.

After addressing God as "Father," why do we describe his "location"? What is the purpose of saying that God is in "heaven"? Can there be any real purpose in that? Join us as we join the Fathers and continue to study their spiritual explanations of the Lord's Prayer.

As the Sermon on the Mount continues, Christ turns to prayer. What does he mean when he says not to make "vain repetitions" or to go into a "closet" to pray? Does this mean we need not go to Church? If the Father already knows what we need, why do we pray at all?
