Nobody Special 153 | Daft Punk and The Lord’s Prayer
Daft Punk recently broke up as a group although the friendship lives on. For them it was never about their own personality but about calling attention to something greater than themselves. The way we pray should reflect the same glory for something greater, but for us means so much more.
Prayer, for the Christian is the act of pouring out of our heart before God. Yet, often times, our temptation is to make it a spectacle by making it about us rather than giving glory of God. While this can be difficult to determine the heart behind a person’s prayer, we must be check our own heart to ensure that we are submitting to God as our King and approaching Him as our Father.
And when you pray, you must not be like the hypocrites. For they love to stand and pray in the synagogues and at the street corners, that they may be seen by others. Truly, I say to you, they have received their reward. But when you pray, go into your room and shut the door and pray to your Father who is in secret. And your Father who sees in secret will reward you. And when you pray, do not heap up empty phrases as the Gentiles do, for they think that they will be heard for their many words. Do not be like them, for your Father knows what you need before you ask him. Pray then like this:“Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your name. Your kingdom come, your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread, and forgive us our debts, as we also have forgiven our debtors. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil.”For if you forgive others their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you, but if you do not forgive others their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses. (Matthew 6:5-15, ESV)
