I’m going to be away until Wednesday visiting my daughter in Cardiff but I want to do a series next around the Lord’s Prayer. Yes I know I’ve done it before but this time I’m going to slowly work through line by line, like I did with Psalm 23, but using a version translated from the original Aramaic.
But I want to leave that space between now and later in the week with this quote from Richard Rohr
From Sunday 21st July
Prayer is a symbiotic relationship with life and with God, a synergy which creates a result larger than the exchange itself. We ask not to change God, but to change ourselves.
—Richard Rohr
As one of the ladies at our house group last night said “the Holy Spirit is the symbiont living within us.”
I think with this thought in mind the whole “Lord teaches us how to pray” and Jesus responding with Matthew 6:9-13 makes sense.
Here’s my PDF on The Lord’s Prayer that I’ll be working with to wet your appetite
