Synopsis

When you have finished saying your prayers, do you feel that you haven’t really prayed? Would you like to know how you can attune your prayer life more closely to God? In our feeling of weakness, Alan Redpath says, we can turn to the Lord Himself, like the disciples did, and say, “Lord, teach us to pray.” The Lord’s Prayer is considered step by step in these pages, from its beginning words of worship to “The Power and the Glory” of the conclusion. Something of the unfathomable depths of this simple prayer is revealed, and from it is developed a pattern for the spirit of all praying which is acceptable to God. For instance, “Hallowed be Thy Name” means the desire, in and through the individual’s life, to reveal the name of Jesus and the character of God, this thought to govern the books read, the choosing of friends and the relationship with them. With the help of the “Lord my victory,” habits and ambitions over which cannot be written, “Hallowed be Thy Name,” will be cast out. The author shows how the Lord's Prayer is full of the Lord Jesus Christ from beginning to end, even though it does not mention Him, at what point in the prayer we meet the love of Jesus Christ, and how this prayer is full of activity—God acting and the heart of man responding. This warmly devotional book will lead you to new heights in Christian experience.
