Subject: Praying the Word: Praying His Will |
Bible Note: "This prayer is found twice in the New Testament, being given by Christ on two different occasions. This, no doubt, is a hint for preachers to reiterate that which is of fundamental importance. The variations are significant. The language of Matthew 6:9 intimates that this prayer is given to us for a model, yet the words of Luke 11:2 indicate that it is to be used by us as a form. Like everything in Scripture, this prayer is perfect—perfect in its order, construction, and wording. Its order is adoration, supplication, and argumentation. Its petitions are seven in number. It is virtually an epitome of the Psalms and a most excellent summary of all prayer. Every clause in it occurs in the Old Testament, denoting that our prayers must be Scriptural if they are to be acceptable. 'And this is the confidence that we have in Him, that, if we ask any thing according to His will, He heareth us' (1 John 5:14). But we cannot know His will if we are ignorant of His Word." A. W. Pink (1886-1952), from his book, "The Lord's Prayer) |
