The Bible in the memory is better than the Bible in the book case.
Barbed Arrows, Page 279
Charles Spurgeon
When the Lord is to lead a soul to great faith he leaves its prayers unheard.
The Eastern Orthodox Church teaches that this prayer is to be said many times regularly during the day.
Prayer is the breath of faith. Prayer meetings are the lungs of the church.
Charles Spurgeon
7156 What deep mysteries are contained in the Lord’s Prayer. How many and great they are! They are expressed in a few words, but they are rich in spiritual power so that nothing is left out; every petition and prayer we have to make is included. It is a compendium of heavenly doctrine.
Cyprian of Carthage
The very first word of the Lord’s Prayer, therefore (in Greek or Aramaic, ‘Father’ would come first), contains within it not just intimacy, but revolution. Not just familiarity; hope.
N. T. Wright
Lord, make me according to your heart.
Brother Lawrence
Anna Marx, daughter of Karl Marx, said, “I was told by my father not to believe in God. But somewhere I ran across a prayer. I don’t know its source [Then she quoted the Lord’s Prayer.] If there is a God like that, I could believe in Him.”
Anonymous
A less appreciated dimension of the Lord’s Prayer is its corporate thrust. This is not my individual prayer, but one that is shared as a community, uttered as if it were one prayer spoken with one voice.
Darrell L. Bock
Andrew Murray
The Lord’s Prayer is the prayer above all prayers. It is a prayer which the most high Master taught us, wherein are comprehended all spiritual and temporal blessings, and the strongest comforts in all trials, temptations, and troubles, even in the hour of death.
Martin Luther
It is not recorded that His disciples ever said to Him, “Lord, teach us how to preach,” but at least one of them was so struck with His prayers that he said, “Lord, teach us to pray.”
A Sermon For A Winter’s Evening, Volume 56, Sermon #3181 - John 18:18
Charles Spurgeon
The ‘Lord’s Prayer’, as many call it, is therefore not just a loosely connected string of petitions. It is a prayer for people who are following Jesus on the kingdom-journey.
N. T. Wright
The Lord’s Prayer is the most perfect of prayers … In it we ask, not only for the things we can rightly desire, but also in the sequence that they should be desired. This prayer teaches us not only to ask for things, but also in what order we should desire them.
Thomas Aquinas
Though infinitely better able to do without prayer than we are, yet Jesus prayed much more than we do.
Our Lord In The Valley Of Humiliation, Volume 38, Sermon #2281 - Philippians2:8
