Because it's not a selfish prayer and it's how JESUS taught disciples to pray.It cover everyone on the face of the earth
The Lords Prayer is an example of how to pray, not what to pray. Of course we can pray it, but that wasn't His point.
It is the lords prayer.
The lords prayer learn you how to pray, it honor him, tell who he is, giving us what we need and asking for forgiviness
The deciples once asked Jesus to teach them to pray and he taught them the lords prayer as we know it.
The Lord's Prayer is Christian in origin.
Yes he did. He taught us how to pray and to tell God to forgive our sins. :D
He was giving an example of how we should pray. He was telling the disciples not to pray as the hypocrites and pharisees did. So he gave them the Lords prayer as a kind of guidline for praying.
In the Bible Jesus instructs specifically how to pray. His example is known as "the Lord's Prayer".
Christ Taught the 'Our Father' to His disciples because they asked Him to Teach them how to pray.
No not always , when he taught the lords prayer the disciples were there. Jesus' prayer in John 17 (the entire chapter) was also a "public" prayer spoken in the presence of His disciples.
It is simply the way we Christians refer to God when we pray, I usually say Dear Heavenly father and so on. The Lords prayer was Jesus teaching us how to pray, we say God is the father, Jesus the son and then there's the holy spirit. So God is our father in Heaven
This is Jesus' way of instructing people how to pray. Prayer does not have to be long and drawn out, but short and simple. Since God is supposed to be omnipotent and omnipresent, He already knows the details of one's prayer requests.
