The Lords Prayer - 40 day devotional

The Lord’s Prayer is the most well-known prayer in history. Memorised by millions and spoken in churches, homes, weddings and funerals, it is far more than familiar words – it is a framework for living. When Jesus taught this prayer (Matthew 6:9-13), he was not offering a spiritual formula but giving us a vision of life with God.

Each line reveals what matters most: God’s priorities. The prayer begins with the Father’s love, moves through worship, surrender, forgiveness and trust, and ends with eternal hope. In ‘The Lord’s Prayer: A 40-Day Devotional’, J.John guides readers through this prayer over the course of forty reflections built around ten rich themes – each beginning with the letter ‘P’:

·      God’s Personal love

·      Praise his name

·      Align with his Purpose

·      Adopt his Priority

·      Rely on his Provision

·      Walk in his Pardon

·      Extend Peace

·      Lean on his Presence

·      Trust his Protection

·      Lift your eyes with Perspective

Some traditions end the prayer with ‘but rescue us from the evil one’, while others include the familiar doxology: ‘For yours is the kingdom and the power and the glory forever. Amen.’ This devotional honours both, concluding with praise that reflects the heart of Scripture (see 1 Chronicles 29:11).

 Whether you have prayed the Lord’s Prayer all your life or you are just beginning to explore its meaning, this devotional will help you renew your heart, deepen your faith and realign your life with God’s eternal priorities. Perfect for personal devotion, family use or small-group study, it invites you not just to pray the Lord’s Prayer but to live it – and let it change everything.
