Explain how God gives us provision through each line of the Lord’s prayer.

A

Y’all I tried to get it all to fit, but if you can’t read the whole thing this is from the first test, first quarter 😅✌🏼️
Our Father in heaven- acknowledges the existence of God
Hallowed be your name- acknowledges the authority of God
Your kingdom come- have heaven set as long range goal
Your will be done- for us to love and serve others
On earth- where we serve
As it is in heaven- done in love
Give us today our daily bread- provides for our physical, emotional, and intellectual needs
And forgive us our trespasses- we’re sinful and selfish and in need of forgiveness
As we forgive those who trespass against us- reminds us that others are sinful
Lead us not into temptation- selfish ways
But deliver us from the evil one- the devil is real
