The power to break through the pressures and tensions of the world and find peace comes from the prayer Jesus taught us.
In reality, it is not that we memorize the Lord's Prayer and offer it to God; rather, the Lord's Prayer shapes us and makes us offer ourselves to God.

Even using chopsticks requires learning to do it properly, but it is arrogant to think that you can instinctively pray the prayer taught by the Lord.
Jesus' prayer must be learned.
To learn that prayer, you must first secure time for prayer and go into your room.
Nothing is more important than securing time.
Some people say, “I always pray.”
But this is a statement made without knowing what prayer is.
Just because the concept of God floats around in the fringes of my consciousness doesn't mean it's prayer.

--- p.93

Some people talk about a very abstract 'we'.
We speak of the universal church and Christians, but there are times when there is no 'us' that touches our skin.
However, the 'we' in the Lord's Prayer are not universal and cosmic Christians, but people who bump into each other in life and fight with each other.
They know each other's circumstances well.
Jesus taught us that this 'us' should come together and confess God.
In doing this, we can pray beyond the few people in our own small community and call the larger community "us."

--- p.131

There is no reason why God must hear our prayers.
Moreover, our prayers are usually so trivial that God, who rules and guides the entire universe, does not necessarily need to listen to them.
Who are we to pray to "God in heaven," and why should He listen to our insignificant prayers? Because He is our Father.

--- p.136~137

We take too lightly the first phrase of our prayer, “Our Father in heaven.”
When we pray with the words “Our Father in heaven,” the door to prayer begins to open.
When we pray, “Our Father in heaven,” we enter into the true spirit of prayer.

--- p.148

The more deeply we love God and our neighbors, the more desperately we need the Kingdom of God.
If you only think about your own body and your own life, as long as you are not sick and doing well, the Kingdom of God will not come into your sight.
Unfortunately, this is our nature.
When you are sick, you feel as if the whole world is sick, but when you are okay, the world becomes a place worth living in.
This is how shallow we are.

--- p.240

We often think that God's will in heaven has already been decided and that we just need to wait for God to work.
But this Bible verse says that when we pray according to God's will on earth, God in heaven works.
It is expressed as if the earth is moving the sky.
This is the relationship between heaven and earth that the Bible speaks of.

--- p.253

The short words “daily bread” contain the physical, economic, and spiritual survival methods of the people of the Kingdom of God.
This is a confession that even the physical life we ​​take for granted is alive today because God cares for it, that the foundation of our economic life, which we live on today, is also provided by God, and that our emptiness and spiritual longing are also filled only by God.
In this way, we live completely dependent on God.

--- p.307

Yet we do not pray this prayer 'every day'.
Why? Because the arrogant notion that we can survive a day, a week, or even longer without God has crept into us.
We delude ourselves into thinking that we can live off of the money we've earned, the safe home we have, and the success we've built.
But the reality is different.
God faithfully bestows His boundless mercy and compassion day after day, and thanks to Him we are alive.
The prayer for our daily bread to be given 'today' is a great confession of faith to trust God completely every moment of every day.

--- p.311

How pitiful we are.
Each person lives and sees the world from their own perspective.
They interpret everything in their own way, act selfishly, and yet think they have no problem and are always the victim.
Even if you pretend to be smart and understand everything, you are actually just a know-it-all.
But when we begin to see things from God's perspective, we begin to see how weak and helpless we are in our sins, how easily we hurt one another.
But we don't have the ability to correct it.

--- p.354

If we forget the spiritual battlefield that tempts us and subdues us to evil, we will not even notice when the evil one has infiltrated us deeply.
As a result, those in power in the air have secretly infiltrated the Korean church and Christians, spreading worldly values ​​and shameful behavior.
Yet, we do not pray to be saved from temptation or from evil.
They become so insensitive that they neither resist evil nor even think about it.
On the contrary, they are eager to rationalize it.

--- p.412

There are many things in life that can be discouraging and difficult.
There are many times when I am so tired that I can't even pray.
Yet, the reason we come before the Lord in prayer is because we know that what we are experiencing now will only last for a short time and then disappear.
Because we know that eternal things exist separately.
So we live here and now, boldly praying, “Yours is the kingdom, the power, and the glory forever.”

--- p.431

People think that prayer doesn't change anything.
“Do people change just because they pray? Does a church become new just because they pray?”
Moreover, it is said that prayer is useless and useless when it comes to changing the world.
But the prayer they offered was not the Lord's Prayer.
The Lord's Prayer changes people.
The Lord's Prayer revives the church and establishes it as an outpost for the movement of the Kingdom of God.
The Lord's Prayer has the power to restore a broken and wounded world.

--- p.453

The Lord's Prayer is not just a prayer to be memorized, but a prayer that follows the ideas of the Lord's Prayer and is a prayer that each of us prays in our own language.
It is also a prayer that begins with God and is offered with thought.
And finally, it is a prayer that receives God as a reward.
