No 'i' In The Lord's Prayer
Contributed by Dr. Larry Petton on Apr 11, 2024 (message contributor)
No "I" in the Lord's Prayer
You cannot pray the Lord's Prayer and even once say "I."
You cannot pray the Lord's Prayer and even once say "My."
Nor can you pray the Lord's Prayer and not pray for one another.
And when you ask for daily bread, you must include your brother.
For others are included... in each and every plea,
From the beginning to the end of it, it doesn't once say "Me."
-- Precept Austin
