The following summary of the Lord's prayer according to Westminster is suitable for copying into a Palm Memo or other PDA note

 

Thy name be hallowed

. highly to esteem him, attributes, ordinances, Word, works;

. that he would prevent and remove atheism, ignorance, idolatry, profaneness;

. direct and dispose of all things to his own glory.

 

Thy kingdom come

. .the kingdom of Satan may be destroyed;

. the gospel propagated throughout the world;

. the church furnished with all gospel officers and ordinances, purged from corruption;

. that the ordinances of Christ may be purely dispensed, and made effectual;

. hasten the time of his second coming, and our reigning with him forever.

 

Thy will be done in earth as it is in heaven

. that God would by his Spirit take away. blindness, weakness, and perverseness of heart;

. make us able and willing to know, do, and submit to his will in all things, with the like humility, cheerfulness, faithfulness, diligence, zeal, sincerity, and constancy, as the angels do in heaven.

 

Give us this day our daily bread

We pray for ourselves and others, that both they and we,

. waiting upon the providence of God from day to day. may. as to his fatherly wisdom shall seem best, enjoy a competent portion.;

. .contentment in them;

. be kept from all things that are contrary to our temporal support and comfort.

 

Forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors

. that God of his free grace would, through the obedience and satisfaction of Christ, .acquit us both from the guilt and punishment of sin, accept us in his Beloved;

. continue his favor and grace to us, pardon our daily failings, and fill us with peace and joy, in giving us daily more and more assurance of forgiveness; which we are. encouraged to expect, when. we from the heart forgive others.

 

Lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil

. we pray, that God would so. restrain Satan. and bless all means of grace, and quicken us to watchfulness in the use of them, that we. may. be kept from being tempted to sin;

. or, if tempted, that by his Spirit we may be. enabled to stand in the hour of temptation;

. or when fallen. that our sanctification and salvation may be perfected, Satan trodden under our feet, and we fully freed from sin, temptation, and all evil, forever.

Author information. David Bickel confesses the Nicene Creed, the Athanasian Creed, the Augsburg Confession, and the other documents of the Book of Concord because they faithfully summarize the sacred writings of the prophets and apostles. As a layman, he lacks the call needed to publicly teach in the church. | professional web page
