New City Catechism | Q41: What is the Lord’s Prayer?
Answer: Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your name, your kingdom come, your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven. Give us today our daily bread. And forgive us our debts, as we also have forgiven our debtors. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil.
http://newcitycatechism.com/new-city-catechism/#41"The thing that keeps one going in the Christian life is prayer—communion and fellowship with God; it is something which is absolutely essential. I would go further and say that the Christian life is really impossible without it." —Martyn Lloyd-Jones
"It is necessary for us to recognize that there is an intelligent mysticism in the life of faith … of living union and communion with the exalted and ever-present Redeemer.… He communes with his people and his people commune with him in conscious reciprocal love.… The life of true faith cannot be that of cold metallic assent. It must have the passion and warmth of love and communion because communion with God is the crown and apex of true religion." —John Murray
"There is a longing in prayer that is never fulfilled in this life, and sometimes the deep satisfactions we are looking for in prayer feel few and far between. Prayer is a journey." —Tim Keller
"The Christian’s life in all its aspects—intellectual and ethical, devotional and relational, upsurging in worship and outgoing in witness—is supernatural; only the Spirit can initiate and sustain it. So apart from him, not only will there be no lively believers and no lively congregations, there will be no believers and no congregations at all." —J.I. Packer
