Our Father: Or, Jesus Teaching to Pray, an Exposition of the Lord's Prayer

Our Father: Or, Jesus Teaching To Pray, An Exposition Of The Lord's Prayer by Samuel Garratt is a mid-19th-century exploration of the Lord’s Prayer presented as a series of sermons. This volume includes a prefatory note and eight sermons that delve into the Lord’s model prayer as both a theological and practical guide for Christian life. Garratt emphasizes that the Lord’s Prayer transcends mere words, encapsulating vital lessons about our relationship with the Heavenly Father, the focus of prayer on God’s glory and will, and the believer’s connection to God through faith in Christ. The sermons cover topics such as addressing the Father in heaven, the significance of God’s name, the coming of God’s kingdom, the fulfillment of His will on earth, daily provision, forgiveness, temptation, and deliverance from evil, concluding with a doxology. Originally published in London in 1854, this book is intended for believers, those preparing for confirmation, and Christian readers seeking a devotional and doctrinal meditation on prayer.
