The Lord’s Prayer, as it is known, was never meant to be
something to chant down the centuries together.
It was meant as a template of the sort of things to pray. Jesus taught
that we were not meant to pray in public in order to impress each other with our
spirituality, but to pray in secret in the privacy of our home alone. When the
prayer is just between us and God there is no room for pride and we certainly
can’t impress God. Prayer is not for us to change what God is doing but to get
ourselves in line with His wishes, “thy will be done.” That is my favourite line from this
prayer. When you submit to God’s will
peace comes, because you know His will is the very best, even though it may be
difficult to live through.
When we lose a loved one it is natural to wonder how they are faring in the next life. I would warn against going to a medium to find out. At worst these people are charlatans after your money, the rest misguided or worse. We are told in the Bible not to try to reach the dead. The best person to call on in this situation is Jesus. That's right, go to the top. He is always available through prayer and doesn't make a charge. All he requires is that you look for him with all your heart. He has the answers to all of life's difficult questions.
