The Lord's Prayer (2)

The Lord's Prayer is for those who know that God's kingdom has arrived in Jesus Christ. God has kept His promises, and so, they are confident in depending on their Father. They long to please Him alone. It is a prayer for those who no longer strive to keep the Law as if their life depended on it, but who have received the free gift of life from the One who Himself is the fulfilment of the Law, and so, delight in God's will. How readily we complicate our relationship with the Father! Jesus tells us that prayer is as simple as desiring God's glory above all things, and being confident that living for His glory is complete joy.
