We reviewed the Lords Prayer and agreed that it is not to be a mantra or a chant but rather a guide to praying. Each of our members had their own ideas about how to be guided. One member felt that it simply ment that you should:
Honor God
Thank God
Ask God for Forgiveness
Ask God for Guidance
There was considerable debate concerning Matthew 6:13 "...lead us not into temptation..." Some felt it suggested that God might lead us into temptation but other passages in the Bible suggest that God wouldn't do that. On the other hand the Greek translation could be read as "... please don't test us..." or allow us to be tested - as in the case of Job. This view seemed to meet with some agreement.
