Life Shapes – THE HEXAGON – Praying as a Way of Life


The words of the Lord’s Prayer are familiar to most of us, but maybe we’ve never stopped to think about what they can teach us about prayer in general. The Hexagon helps us to remember the six simple phrases of the Lord’s Prayer and how we can apply them to every minute of every day.

The prayer Jesus taught his disciples has six elements that help us to align our lives with God’s will for us.

•      The Father’s Character —”Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your name”
•      The Father’s Kingdom —”Your kingdom come, your will be done”
•      The Father’s Provision —”Give us today our daily bread”
•      The Father’s Forgiveness —”Forgive us our debts, as we also have forgiven our debtors”
•      The Father’s Guidance —”Lead us not into temptation”
•      The Father’s Protection —”But deliver us from the evil one”
