One of the most quoted and well-known passages of the Bible might also be one of the most misunderstood. Some call it the “Our Father.” Here, Jesus gives this prayer to Jesus followers as an example of how to pray. At the heart of his prayer is an invitation that, when we’re not careful, is easy to respond to with “nah, I’m good on that Jesus.” This prayer invites us to live a life of moment-by-moment reliance on God, not ourselves. As we trust God to provide for our physical needs, we also acknowledge our need for his presence in our relationships with others and in the internal challenges we face with ourselves.
