Jesus taught His disciples to pray. They asked how. He gave them a model. That model is the Holy Lords Prayer, the most recognized prayer in Christianity. It contains everything believers need—worship, submission, provision, forgiveness, and protection.
Most Christians know the Lord’s Prayer by memory. They recite it in services. They teach it to children. But many miss its power as a prayer template. The Holy Lords Prayer isn’t just words to repeat—it’s a pattern for all Christian prayer. Each phrase contains theology that shapes how believers approach God.
The Holy Lords Prayer exists in traditional and modern versions, found in Matthew 6:9-13 and Luke 11:2-4. It focuses on God’s holiness, His kingdom, His will, daily provision, forgiveness, and protection from evil.
The Traditional 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. 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. For thine is the kingdom, the power, and the glory, for ever and ever. Amen.”
This prayer serves as model for Christian prayer, encompassing praise, petition, and dependence on God. Each component teaches how to approach the Father properly and what matters most in prayer.
