Book: The Prayer of Jesus Our Father in Heaven: and an explanation of its meanings

Our Father in heaven,

hallowed be your name,

your kingdom come,

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 lead us not into temptation,

but deliver us from the evil one.

The prayer of Jesus has been repeated for thousands of years by many people around the world. But what does every word of this prayer mean? In this booklet I try to explain the prayer of Jesus based most on the Bible.
The word is God
The word is the light of humankind.

Matthew 6:9–13

This prayer is in Matthew 6:9–13. I was then curious about this prayer. From so many things that He could pray about, of all the things He could have said and from so many words, why did He choose these words? My curiosity led me to look up everything that these words meant in the Bible. In this small book are my reflections about their meanings.
