THE LORD'S PRAYER INITIATIVE:
Adopt Your Street, Workplace, or School
Jesus gave us a model prayer when He taught:
“This, then, is how you should pray:
Our Father in heaven
Hallowed be your name,
You Kingdom come,
Your will be done on earth as it is in heaven.
Give us today our daily bread.
Forgive us our debts, as we also have forgiven our debtors.
And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from the evil one.
Matthew 6:9-13
We are praying…for the redemption of the world; for the radical defeat and ultimate uprooting of evil; and for heaven and earth to be married at last, for God to be all in all. And if we pray this way, we must of course be prepared to live this way.
–N.T. Wright
The Lord’s Prayer is a model prayer. It teaches us to pray for the things that are close to the heart of God. Praying this prayer has a way of tuning us into God’s mission on this earth. As we pray for God’s name to be made holy, we are asking that He would never be disregarded or treated as common and ordinary by anyone. Instead, we are asking God to make His name special and revered by all.
As we pray for God’s Kingdom to come, we are asking that God would draw people to faith through the Gospel of Jesus Christ. As we pray for God’s will to be done, we desire that God would open our eyes to show us how He desires to work through us to accomplish His mission purposes.
Will you pray this prayer for your Street, your Workplace, or your School? Will you join with other Christians to blanket your city in prayer? Will you ask God to be at work? If so, join the Lord’s Prayer Initiative.
