When we read the scriptures dealing with the Lord’s Prayer, we memorize them as a recitation. We repeat these words faithfully, and recognize the importance of their detailed instruction, but do we use them as a template for our own daily prayers? So many of us are accustomed to praying first for ourselves, and then secondly for the kingdom of God, but are our desires, which comprise our prayers, out of order? Are they wrong facing, and looking first towards our humanity, and then towards the divine?
