The Lord's Prayer

Show notes

About This Episode Prayer is such a vital part of every Christian's life. In this episode we walk through the Lord's Prayer, spoken by Jesus in the Sermon on the Mount in Matthew 6. This teaching matters because it shows us the importance of prayer and a personal relationship with God. Jesus was not giving us magic words; it's not what we should pray, it's how we should pray. We talk about praying to God as Father, honoring His name, seeking His will above our own, and forgiveness. Our hearts are that this encourages you to build your prayer life, not for salvation, but to build real intimacy with God. Just like our marriages, intimacy takes intentionality.

About Aaron & Jennifer Smith Aaron and Jennifer Smith are the founders of Marriage After God and authors of Husband After God, Wife After God, and Marriage After God. Married since 2007 and raising six children in Bend, Oregon, they started Husband Revolution and Unveiled Wife to share what God was teaching them, not from a place of having it figured out, but as fellow travelers pointing couples back to Jesus.

In This Episode A template, not a script — why Jesus taught how to pray, not just what to say. Praying in secret — avoiding hypocritical, show-off and wordy prayers. Our Father — the comfort of praying to God as Father, even with a broken earthly dad. Hallowed be your name — reverencing God's holy name. Your will be done — seeking God's kingdom and will above our own requests. Our son's bad dreams — how God may build character rather than just remove discomfort. Forgive us our debts — pointing others back to God in repentance and forgiveness. Teaching kids to pray — passing on a life of prayer to our children.

Scripture Referenced Matthew 6:5-13
