1. As we stated at the outset of our study of the Lord’s Prayer, Holy Scripture has many Bible passages that can help us better understand what we are praying about in the Lord’s Prayer. Here are some Bible passages that expand our understanding of the last four petitions and the doxology in this prayer.
The Fourth Petition – Exodus 16:16-34, During Israel’s wilderness journey, they had to put this into practice. See how this worked for Israel in regard to Manna.
The Fifth Petition – Psalm 51, On what basis do we ask God to forgive us of our sins?
The Sixth Petition – 1 Peter 1:6-7. As noted in our devotion on the sixth petition, when we encounter trials of life, the devil will use it to tempt us to forsake God. Whereas God will use trials for our spiritual good. What good does Peter speak of trials serving?
The Seventh Petition – Romans 8:20-25, How is nature faring under the curse of sin that causes all kinds of evil conditions? How does this teach us about hope?
The Doxology – Revelation 7:11-12, According to the angels of heaven what praises does God deserve?
