After Jesus had finished describing the wrong way to
pray, He illustrated the right way to pray by using the following prayer:
“‘Our Father in
heaven,
hallowed be your name,
10 your kingdom come,
your will be done,
on earth as it is in heaven.
11 Give us today our daily bread.
12 And forgive us our debts,
as we also have forgiven our debtors.
13 And lead us not into testing,
but deliver us from evil,
hallowed be your name,
10 your kingdom come,
your will be done,
on earth as it is in heaven.
11 Give us today our daily bread.
12 And forgive us our debts,
as we also have forgiven our debtors.
13 And lead us not into testing,
but deliver us from evil,
for yours is the kingdom and the power and the
glory forever. Amen.
أبانا
الَّذِي فِي
السَّماءِ،
لِيَتَقَدَّسِ اسْمُكَ،
10
لِيَأتِ مَلَكُوتُكَ،
فَتَكُونَ مَشِيئِتُكَ،
هُنا عَلَى الأرْضِ كَما هِيَ فِي
السَّماءِ.
11
أعطِنا اليَوْمَ خُبزَنا كَفافَ يَومِنا،
12
وَاغفِرْ لَنا خَطايانا،
كَما غَفَرْنا نَحنُ أيضاً
لِلَّذِينَ يُسِيئُونَ إلَينا.
13
وَلا تُدْخِلنا فِي تَجرُبَةِ،
بَلْ أنقِذْنا مِنَ الشِّرِّيرِ. [a]
لأنَّ لَكَ المُلْكَ وَالقُدرَةَ
وَالمَجدَ،
إلَى أبَدِ الآبِدينَ. آمين›
Mathew 6: 9-13
Of course, if this prayer is simply memorized and
repeated without a faith, commitment and sincerity, it becomes the same sort of
babbling that Jesus had just condemned.
We are taught to
say, not MY Father, but OUR Father. Our hearts as children of God is a
brotherly heart, in respect of all Christian believers we ask in the spirit of
unity, fellowship, and love desiring for our brethren what we desire for
ourselves. God is the Father of those who are adopted into his family, who put
confidence in him, who are true followers of Christ, and made heirs of life.
For those who are led by the Spirit
of God are the children of God. 15 The
Spirit you received does not make you slaves, so that you live in fear again;
rather, the Spirit you received brought about your adoption to sonship. And by
him we cry, “Abba, Father.” 16 The
Spirit himself testifies with our spirit that we are God’s children. 17 Now if we are children, then we are heirs—heirs
of God and co-heirs with Christ, if indeed we share in his sufferings in order
that we may also share in his glory.
إِنَّ جَمِيعَ الْخَاضِعِينَ
لِقِيَادَةِ رُوحِ اللهِ، هُمْ أَبْنَاءٌ لِلهِ. 15 إِذْ
إِنَّكُمْ لَمْ تَنَالُوا رُوحَ عُبُودِيَّةٍ يُعِيدُكُمْ إِلَى الْخَوْفِ، بَلْ
نِلْتُمْ رُوحَ بُنُوَّةٍ بِهِ نَصْرُخُ: «أَبَا! أَبَانَا!»
16 فَالرُّوحُ نَفْسُهُ يَشْهَدُ مَعَ
أَرْوَاحِنَا بِأَنَّنَا أَوْلاَدُ اللهِ. 17 وَمَا
دُمْنَا أَوْلاَداً، فَنَحْنُ أَيْضاً وَارِثُونَ؛ وَرَثَةُ اللهِ وَشُرَكَاءُ
الْمَسِيحِ فِي الإِرْثِ. وَإِنْ كُنَّا الآنَ نُشَارِكُهُ فِي مُقَاسَاةِ
الأَلَمِ، فَلأَنَّنَا سَوْفَ نُشَارِكُهُ أَيْضاً فِي التَّمَتُّعِ بِالْمَجْدِ.
Romans 8: 14-17
Our God is in heaven; he does
whatever pleases him.
إِنَّ
إِلَهَنَا فِي السَّمَاوَاتِ. كُلَّ مَا شَاءَ صَنَعَ.
Psalm 115:3
The phrase ,
abinu sheboshemayim, our Father who art in heaven, was very common among the
ancient Jews; and was used by them precisely in the same sense as it is used
here by our Lord.

I invite you to repeat the following prayer for yourself:
Abba
Father, thank You for Your abundant blessings and Your deep, everlasting and inseparable love. LORD, I thank You that
I can call You Abba (Daddy) Father.
As a child of God please give me a brotherly
heart, in respect of all Christian believers so that I may pray and ask in the
spirit of unity, fellowship, and love desiring for my brethren what I desire
for myself. Lead me by Your Spirit Lord. As a child of God and
as an heir, an heir of God and co-heir with Christ, help me to be able to share
in Jesus’ suffering in order that I may also share in his glory. I declare to
the world that Christ is my Lord and Saviour. God I praise You, glorify You, and lift You up on high. In the name of the King of kings and Lord of
lords, in the Holy Name of Your only
begotten Son Jesus, I pray. To Him be the power,
the glory, the majesty and the dominion forever and ever and unto ages of ages.
Amen.
Jesus loves you,
In Him,
Wagdi Henein
