    Contributed by Geoffrey Foot on Nov 3, 2024
     | 181 views

    How often do we say this phrase everyday when we say the Lord's Prayer - AS WE FORGIVE THOSE WHO TRESPASS AGAINST US? Do we stop and think what we are saying and really mean it? Should we expect God our Father to forgive us if we can't forgive those who wrong us?

    Lord’s Prayer 12: AS WE FORGIVE THOSE WHO TRESPASS AGAINST US As a young priest, John Wesley spent a short time in Georgia, USA serving as a missionary in Savannah whilst his brother Charles served as chaplain to the governor.

    Contributed by Geoffrey Foot on Oct 23, 2024
     | 130 views

    When we pray the Lord's Prayer we ask for forgiveness for the things we have done wrong, wrong to God and wrong to our neighbour. Sometime these things play on our minds and they are difficult to forget, we get depressed. In order to forget we need to forgive ourselves.

    THE NEED TO FORGIVE OURSELVES When we meet each other either in the street or in a shop we say hello yet in the middle East the greeting is far more significant: shalom. Shalom is a biblical word and although usually translated 'peace', the word also means total harmony- with God, with ...read more

    We all have problems, worries and anxieties that we have to deal with everyday. The Lord's Prayer teaches us to take each day as it comes, step by step, to cross the bridge when we get there rather than try and solve problems that might never happen.

Lord’s Prayer: ONE DAY AT A TIME Give us this day our daily bread – Did you know that in ancient Israel, bread was made for consumption the following day, so everyone had food in the house overnight.

    Without food we die, our daily bread. But this food is for our wholeness in every aspect, food for life – food for body, yes AND food for our minds and our spirit. God, our Father gives us our daily bread, the bread of Life.

One of the key components of intercession is the recognition that without us God's hands are tied and without God our hands are empty. Another is ...read more

    Contributed by Geoffrey Foot on Aug 24, 2024
     | 167 views

    We start the Lord's Prayer in a very personal way, calling God our Father - what a privilege but it goes even deeper than that as we are taught to call God, Abba Father where Abba means daddy. All this shows us how unique the Lord's prayer is, the prayer jesus taught us to pray.

Even though we might have been saying the same things over and over again we do not really think about what we ...read more

     | 362 views

    The Lord's Prayer is an integral part of our prayer life and its so easy to take it for granted - to say it without thinking what we are saying or thinking. The Lord's Prayer was the result of the disciples asking Jesus to teach them to prayer.

    Sometimes we have unpleasant things we have to do. Awkward situations we would rather avoid. People we would rather not meet. Tasks we put aside and hope that they will go away. One such task is writing a difficult letter – to a friend or relative who has recently been bereaved. Where do you ...read more
