Lesson Eleven: Prayer Principles as Taught by Jesus
The Lord’s Prayer is not a mantra to be repeated over and over. Reciting the Lord’s Prayer will not confer spirituality. It will not give good luck, prevent temptation, or deliver anyone from evil. I have heard of people in the grip of a bad or dangerous situation desperately repeating the Lord’s Prayer in an attempt to forestall disaster. Probably 95 times out of a hundred it did not bring about the desired result. And undoubtedly the five times they did get the desired result it wasn’t due to the fact that they were praying the Lord’s Prayer. … this is a model for prayer to be followed, not a magic incantation to ward off evil. Sadly, for many folks the only prayer they have ever offered in their lives is the Lord’s Prayer quoted verbatim.
