A "Q's" about the Lords Prayer

[PJM]

Can the Lords prayer be lived today?

Is there any part of it harder to live then the rest of it?

Do folks today even know what they are praying in the Lords prayer?

 

[Philotheatoo]

I like to think I live the Lord’s Prayer everyday. Although I have learned over and over again the technical truth about the prayer, it makes sense to me like this:
Our Father, who art in heaven (my father, I know you are there)
Hallowed be Thy name (I am humble before your greatness oh Lord)
Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done, on earth as it is in heaven. (your kingdom is in my heart~as such, I implore you to help me to do your will here as you would have me do in heaven)
Give us this day, our daily bread (I will need your grace today Lord, please fulfill my heart)
And forgive us our trespasses (forgive my sins dear Lord)
As we forgive those who trespass against us (I will do the same for my brothers and sisters through this day, with your help)
Lead us not into temptation ((Here’s the hard part) Give me strength Father, to resist temptations on this day)
deliver us from evil (remove the evil please, that I may come into contact with on this day)
Amen.
I hope that helps you and, I will pray for you.

The Lord’s prayer is a rich prayer that people probably as a rule growingly come to understand over the course of their lives.
I have noticed that people can little realize what they are praying when they say forgive our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us. There are people who may not want to pray this if they realized what they are asking for.
Someone said years before in a religion class how he will spend time thinking about the first two words–our Father. I have thought about this often over the years since then.
