The Large Catechism: The Lord’s Prayer: Introduction, Part 2

Prayer is filled with promise. The Lord hears and answers us according to His gracious will. He provides us with the gift of the Lord’s Prayer, that we may confidently come to Him, knowing He will give us what we need. Our shelter and protection rests in our prayers as a weapon against the devil and the sinful world, not because of the prayers themselves, but because of the power of the One who hears. We can utilize His Word for prayer, especially when we are at a loss for words. It is His Words that give us the Holy Spirit and provide a clear conscience in Christ. Rev. Ben Meyer, pastor at Hope Lutheran Church, Sunbury, OH, joins Rev. Brady Finnern to study the Lord’s Prayer as found in the Large Catechism.
