Memory for the Week of
1/11-1/15
Welcome back once again! We will be continuing the Lord’s Prayer for memory. What was due for Thursday and Friday of last week are now due on Tuesday and Wednesday of this week. All memory will be fill-in-the-blank.
Tuesday, 1/12 (The Lord’s Prayer: The First Petition continued…)
How is God’s name kept holy? God’s name is kept holy when the Word of God is taught in its truth and purity, and we, as the children of God, also lead holy lives according to it. Help us to do this, dear Father in heaven! But anyone who teaches or lives contrary to God’s Word profanes the name of God among us. Protect us from this, heavenly Father!
Wednesday, 1/13 (The Lord’s Prayer: The Second Petition)
Thy kingdom come.
What does this mean? The kingdom of God certainly comes by itself without prayer, but we pray in this petition that it may come to us also.
Thursday, 1/14 (The Lord’s Prayer: The Second Petition continued…)
How does God’s kingdom come? God’s kingdom comes when our heavenly Father gives us His Holy Spirit, so that by His grace we believe His holy Word and lead godly lives here in time and there in eternity.
Friday, 1/15 (The Lord’s Prayer: The Third Petition)
Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven.
What does this mean? The good and gracious will of God is done even without our prayer, but we pray in this petition that it may be done among us also.
