1. The Lord’s Prayer (Matthew 6:9-13)
When the disciples asked Jesus how to pray, Christ provided this prayer as a guide. The prayer begins with “Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your name,” acknowledging God’s holiness and establishing a relationship of reverence and intimacy. By addressing God as “Father,” we recognize his love and care, inviting us to approach him confidently and trustfully.
“Your kingdom come, your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven” aligns our desires with God’s divine plan. This petition encourages us to surrender our will to his. In our modern context, this can guide us to pray for justice and peace and to spread God’s love in our world.
“Give us today our daily bread” teaches us to rely on God for our daily needs. This request fosters a mindset of dependence, contentment, and gratitude, reminding us to seek God’s provision in all aspects of our lives.
“Forgive us our debts, as we also have forgiven our debtors” emphasizes the importance of forgiveness. By asking for God's forgiveness, we acknowledge our shortcomings and need for grace and commit to forgive others like God does with us.
“Lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from the evil one” seeks God’s protection and guidance. In today's world, it serves as a reminder to seek God’s help navigating challenges and staying true to our faith.
Praying this central prayer promises God’s provision, forgiveness, reconciliation, and protection from the Devil, all while surrendering our will to his ultimate goodness.
In this verse from Hebrews, we are reminded that we have full assurance of hope. This helps us to remain faithful in the midst of whatever we are going through, knowing that the Lord will sustain us and that we are walking toward a glorious end. Today, we'll talk about what it means to be assured of hope.

Mark 12:30
Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done in 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 thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever. Amen
What do we hope for? Think of the things that the Lord has promised. Death is the greatest fear for most people, but the Lord has already conquered it for all of us through the Resurrection. We do not need to live in fear or anxiety because we know that death is only the beginning of life with Him. Life with the Lord is in Heaven, in perfect and sinless communion with Jesus. There is a happy ending on the horizon! This gives us hope in the future. We know that nothing on Earth could ever happen to us that will change our destiny; we are secure in the Lord always.
