How to get started praying The Lord's Prayer
It's hard work, but worth it.
If you are new to this newsletter, then let me do a quick intro.
Hey, I’m Dylan Scott Miller. And I wrote a book on The Lord’s Prayer and love talking about prayer because it’s a special spiritual discipline to me.
So, when it comes to answering the question, “How do I pray?”
I have a simple solution…
Just start.
Read The Lord’s Prayer out loud.
You won’t have to do this all the time (and you shouldn’t), but it’s a great way to get started if you don’t know how to pray or are wanting to re-learn this particular spiritual discipline.
Action breeds more action.
Keep working on making those imitation blueberries become real ones.
So, just getting started is one of the most effective ways to keep learning and growing and improving your prayer life!
And if you want a version of The Lord’s Prayer that I particularly like based on the original languages (Greek and Hebrew), then here you go:
My prayer for today
Our Father in Heaven
May your name be kept holy
May your Kingdom come soon
May your will be done on earth, just as it is in Heaven
Give us today the food we need
And forgive us our sins as we have forgive those who have sinned against us
Don’t let us give in to temptation
But rescue us from evil
Amen
Remember
Just starting to pray The Lord’s Prayer is a great first step to improving your prayer life!!
