Series 13: Lord's Prayer? Can't!

Series 13: Those Who Can’t Pray The Lord’s Prayer

If you don’t know Christ…you can’t pray, “Our Father.”

If you glorify yourself…you can’t pray, “Hallowed be Thy name.”

If you reject His rules…you can’t pray, “Thy kingdom come.”

If you won’t submit…you can’t pray, “Thy will be done.”

If your life is only for here and now…you can’t pray, “On earth as it is in heaven.”

If you are self-sufficient…you can’t pray, “Give us our daily bread.”

If you won’t forgive…you can’t pray, “Forgive us our debts.”

If you seek sin…you can’t pray, “Lead us not into temptation.”

If you are a friend of evil…you can’t pray, “Deliver us from evil.”

If you build your own kingdom…you can’t pray, “Thine is the kingdom.”

If you want power…you can’t pray, “Thine is the power.”

If you always take credit,…you can’t pray, “Thine is the glory.”
