[Pray] in the Holy Spirit…
Jude 20
Another way to pray in the Spirit is by using the Lord’s Prayer (Mat. 6:9-13). Martin Luther structured his entire prayer life around the Lord’s Prayer:
Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your name. (6:9) Luther prayed that God would be honoured in his own life, and in the church, and in the nation where he lived.
Your kingdom come, your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven. (6:10) He prayed for the advancement of God’s kingdom, and he prayed for what is true, just, and right.
Give us this day our daily bread. (6.11) He prayed about his own daily needs, and for the needs of others that he was aware of—money, energy, peace, direction, patience, and guidance.
Forgive us our debts, as we also forgive those who sin against us. (6:12) He prayed about his own sins, and he asked for God’s help in forgiving the wounds that were inflicted on him by others.
Lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. (6:13) He asked God to help him identify the activity of Satan, and then he called on God against all of it that he was able to see.
That covers the whole of life. You could pray these five headings every day for the next year, and you would always find something fresh, and you would be praying in the Spirit because you’re praying in line with Jesus Christ.
Take a few moments and try praying through the Lord’s Prayer yourself. Compare and contrast this with your normal routine for prayer.
