Pray One Line at a Time

The Lord’s Prayer gives you a simple pattern for daily prayer. You do not need perfect words. Move slowly, reflect on each line, and let it guide your heart back to God.

Begin with God

Our Father in heaven
Start by remembering who God is. He is near, loving, holy, and attentive to your life today.

Thank God that you are not alone

Pause and become still

Come honestly as you are

Ask for His way

Your kingdom come, your will be done
Invite God into your plans, worries, decisions, and relationships. Ask Him to lead your day with wisdom and peace.

Surrender your plans

Ask for wisdom today

Trust God with what you cannot control

Bring daily needs

Give us today our daily bread
Talk to God about what you need today: strength, provision, peace, patience, clarity, and help for the next step.

Pray for today’s needs

Ask for strength and peace

Receive grace for this day

Forgiveness and Protection

Forgive us our sins, as we forgive those who sin against us
Bring your failures to God and receive His mercy. Ask for grace to forgive others, even when it is hard.

Lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil
Ask God to guard your mind, strengthen your heart, and help you walk in peace, wisdom, and faithfulness today.
