So glad someone posted this as well. I've been saying it from way back when people started posting the Lord's prayer. The Lord's prayer is beautiful and there's absolutely nothing wrong with it. But what is wrong is when folks will just vainly repeat this prayer over and over and over again. I remember in church services (catholic denomination) this prayer being repeated over and over again. Is that what God tells us to do? Is that what Jesus Christ was instructing us to do when he recited this prayer? No, actually Jesus taught just the opposite. He said just before that prayer to NOT use vain repetition. He also said pray in this MANNER, meaning as in this example. He was just giving us an example of how to pray and that we can use this type of structure, i.e. praising God in our prayer, thanking God in our prayer, etc., when we pray. God wants to hear what is your specific need/desire/request/prayer, just as any loving father would.
Thanks for posting that!
