Memorizing The Lord's Prayer + Free Printable - Coffee & Conversation








Have you heard of the Lord's Prayer?

Have you ever recited the Lord's Prayer?

Have you ever read the Lord's Prayer in the Bible?


Well let's make 
Coffee & Conversation 
today
 into a cuppa with the 
Lord's Prayer!






I'm offering this Free Printable of the Words of the Lord's Prayer as a resource to help you to memorize the Lord's Prayer or to give to someone else to help them to learn this prayer.


It is one of my assortment of free printables which can be found in my Resource Library



The Lord's Prayer 


We find the Lord's Prayer in 2 of the Gospels

Matthew ch 6 v 9 - 13

and

Luke ch 11 v 1 - 4










Jesus gave the disciples these words to pray as a great example of how to pray, as a template of prayer and also as a prayer.

It reminds us to 
  • acknowledge who God is
  • bring our petitions to Him
  • seek forgiveness for our sins
  • ask for help and guidance
  • seek protection and to recognise evil
  • come to God in adoration of Him
plus so much more that is too much to cover here in this short blog post.



Brief Tips to help you learn the Lord's Prayer 

  1. The Lord's Prayer printable is available to download in both A4 and Letter size.  So it can be used to help you memorize this gift that the Lord Jesus gave us to come before God the Father.
  2. Break it up into 3 sections, the first 5 lines about God, the next 6 lines about our requests, the last 4 lines about praising God
  3. Then break it up further into individual lines to learn off small amounts within each section and lead on to learning each full section.
  4. Read it through in it's entirety at the start and at the end every time you spend some time to learn it. This will help with the placement in your mind of all of it.
  5. Print out 3 copies and actually cut one copy up into the 3 sections and then another copy up into all the individual lines and then keep one of the full prayer to check as you practice putting the sections or individual lines into place together.
  6. Make it a challenge to memorize it. You can even print out a 4th copy & make it into a puzzle of the whole prayer by cutting out each individual word.

5 Best Quotes on Prayer + Free Printable - Coffee & Conversation




Here is my choice for the 
5 Best Quotes on the subject of

PRAYER









I am not a fan of QUOTES

In fact sometimes I get very annoyed at how people almost treat a quote
 as more important than the 
Word of God


I actually wrote a blog post about Do We Really Need This Quote?








However I do see that there are certain topics that there are some great quotes on from some very reliable people. This month of course we are thinking about PRAYER so let's get encouraged with some quotes around this.

There are many quotes from so many people on the subject of Prayer but I prefer to only refer to or recommend ones from people who I trust as standing firm on the Word of God.

So in the list below I will quote


Not  Lisa Bevere   but   John Bunyan

 Not  Andy Stanley   but   Andrew Murray

Not  Joyce Meyer   but   Charles Spurgeon





1.  John Bunyan

"In prayer it is better to have a heart without words than words without a heart"








2.  Oswald Chambers

"Prayer does not fit us for the greater work;  Prayer is the greater work."







 


3.  Andrew Murray

"Think of what He can do and how He delights to hear the prayers of His redeemed people.  Think of your place and privilege in Christ, and expect great things!"

4.  C.S. Lewis

"I pray because I'm helpless.  I pray because the need flows out of me all the time, waking and sleeping.  It doesn't change God.  It changes me."







5.  Charles Spurgeon


   "True prayer is neither a mere mental exercise nor a vocal performance.  It is far deeper than that - it is a spiritual transaction with the Creator of Heaven and Earth."
