Key Notes from the reading & sermon:
Living the “Our”
“When you are praying, do not heap up empty phrases as the gentiles do, for they think that they will be heard because of their many words. Do not be like them, for your Father knows what you need before you ask him. “Pray, then, in this way: Our Father in heaven, may your name be revered as holy. May your kingdom come. May your will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Give us today our daily bread. And forgive us our debts, as we also have forgiven our debtors. And do not bring us to the time of trial, but rescue us from the evil one.
[Reading above - Matthew 6:7-13]
Questions for Reflection:
How do we live out the “our” which Jesus shows us how to pray?
Activity ideas for the week ahead
Look up Global Ministries partners and join them in prayers for our siblings around the world. www.globalministries.org
Listen or read the Lord’s Prayer in a different language.
Draw, doodle, hum, journal about God as relational and what that means for us as children created in God’s image.
Pray using a sensory tool that can be touched and felt with openness to the ways our senses connect us to one another and what that means for living out the “our” – how are we mindful of all the siblings we meet and experience?
A Practice to Focus on Discipleship
Incorporate a faith journal in your spiritual practice. Use the journal as a way to:
jot down needs and blessings with words or drawings or pictures
respond to the questions for reflection in the sermon notes
make notes about the weekly scripture lessons and sermons
create a to-do list of discipleship actions
list questions you want to explore
write prayers, stories, poems, or letters
be creative!
