63 The Lords Prayer, Success Blueprint

Many skeptics, including world-renowned scientists, have committed their lives to disproving the existence of God or the authority of the Bible, but many of them have found themselves coming to believe in God instead. In fact, one scientist calculated that the existence of earth and its ability to sustain life is a scientific impossibility without divine intervention, which he concluded proves the accuracy and truth of Scripture.

Probably the most famous prayer in the Bible is The Lord’s Prayer, which Jesus prayed in response to his disciples asking him how to pray. Praying this prayer begins with a right relationship with God and takes the individual through a process of reliance on God for success in their lives. These specific phrases in The Lord’s Prayer allow the person to focus on their internal state rather than external circumstances and they find the ability to heal their issues with forgiveness and release the hold of stress on their lives:

1. “Hallowed be your name”: recognizing that God is worthy of honor and holds all power; “You are God and I am not”
2. “Your Kingdom come”: the Kingdom is inside of every follower of Jesus, so this helps each person focus on the spiritual inward state
3. “Your will be done”: giving God control of the end result
4. “Give us this day our daily bread”: making your request be made known to God
5. “Forgive me as I forgive others”: realizing your own humanity
