Day 161. Why should you learn the Lord’s Prayer? (2024)

Today is day 161 and we are on the section on the Lord's Prayer.

161. Why should you learn the Lord’s Prayer?

I should learn the Lord’s Prayer because Jesus taught it to his disciples as both a practice and a pattern for prayer to God the Father. (Matthew 6:5–8; Luke 11:1, 5–13)

We will conclude today with Prayer 97. Preparation for Personal Prayer on page 675 of the Book of Common Prayer (2019).
