selected verses above from the 7 passages, clearly show what God
wants us to read and understand. Will we truly comprehend these
wonderful lessons - and the nuggets of truth - and the daily
challenge of praying the Lord's prayer? And really, this is the
“disciples' prayer” - the true Lord's Prayer is John 17. The
disciples asked Jesus - “Would You teach </span></span></font><u><font style="font-size: 11pt;" size="2"><span style="">us</span></font></u><font style="font-size: 11pt;" size="2"><span style="text-decoration: none;"><span style="">

disciples to pray?” - So Matthew 6:5-15 is really what should be
centered in its 7-fold content in each prayer we pray - especially
the first 3 requests. And we need to remember - this is </span></span></font><u><font style="font-size: 11pt;" size="2"><span style="">not</span></font></u><font style="font-size: 11pt;" size="2"><span style="text-decoration: none;"><span style="">
optional. For Jesus said in the imperative mood as a command, “After

commands. It is for this reason I put these 7 requests in </span></span></font><u><font style="font-size: 11pt;" size="2"><span style="">each</span></font></u><font style="font-size: 11pt;" size="2"><span style="text-decoration: none;"><span style="">
