The Lords Prayer- Part 2

"Give us today our daily bread" reminds us of the  manna provided to the Israelites in the wilderness, emphasising God's daily provision for His people. This phrase underscores our reliance on God for our sustenance, trusting Him to meet our needs each day. Just as the Israelites gathered manna every morning, we are reminded to seek God's help for our daily necessities and to be thankful for His continuous care and provision.

"And forgive us our debts, as we also have forgiven our debtors" highlights the importance of mercy and forgiveness in our lives. In this context, "debts" symbolizes our sins and shortcomings. By asking for forgiveness, we acknowledge our need for God's grace and commit to extending the same forgiveness to others.

"And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from the evil one" is a plea for God's guidance and protection. This part of the prayer notices the trials and temptations we encounter and seeks God's help in overcoming them. It acknowledges the presence of evil and our need for God's strength to resist it.
