REFLECT
Prayer Grow Closer to God Jesus taught us the Lord’s Prayer. He wanted to bring us closer to God the Father, to himself, and to one another. God is our loving Father, and we pray the Lord’s Prayer to him.
Lord’s Prayer Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name; thy kingdom come, thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven.
We give glory to God, whose name is holy. We pray that what he wants for us and for the world will happen. Give us this day our daily bread, and forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us; and lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. Amen.
We ask God for what we need to live. We tell him we will forgive others as he forgives us. We ask him to keep us from evil.
Show Forgiveness In the Lord’s Prayer, Jesus tells us that God wants us to forgive others.
What Would You Do? How would you show forgiveness in the situation described below? Write your answer on a separate sheet of paper. Your good friend forgot to invite you to his laser tag birthday party. Later he said he was sorry he did not invite you.
