The Lord's Prayer (Scripture for the Day)

In Glory Seals we have been memorizing the Lord's Prayer. The writer (Chris Wall) of the A Life Worth Following Journal about Justin Sullivan's life, said that Justin always took a little bit of scripture and memorized a little bit at a time (such as 1 verse a week). My dad thought that was a great idea so he is doing it in Glory Seals. So we memorized 1 (if they were very short, 2) verses a week. My dad figured out that if you memorize 1 verse a week from the time you are 12, to the time you are 80 (if you live that long) you will memorize around 3,000 verses!!! WOW!

So here is the exact translation and scripture we just finished:

Matthew 6:9-13 (King James Version)


9 After this manner therefore pray ye: Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name.

10 Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven.

11 Give us this day our daily bread.

12 And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors.

13 And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil: For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever. Amen.


Manny blessings!!!
