When we look at a map of a place we’ve never been, it has little meaning to us. But as we travel the roads and experience the place, we add dimension and depth. We take a flat piece of paper and fill it with memories and meaning. The Lord’s Prayer is just a handful of verses; seven thoughts. But if we are brave enough to pour ourselves into each section and set our souls on discovering each place, the Lord’s Prayer can become like the map of our favorite vacation destination. It can become for us a place of prayer that we can return to as often as we like. Of course, just like our favorite getaways, each time we return the experience will be a little bit different, and so will we.

Imagine if a meaningful prayer time through the Lord’s Prayer could be a frequent and cherished activity for each Christian to connect with God in new ways as they journey in Christ. This has the potential to be very transformative!
