Lord's Prayer

Lord's Prayer
Most Christians know the words to the “Lord’s Prayer,” which they recite during religious ceremonies. Introduced by Jesus in the New Testament (Matthew 6:9-13 and Luke 11:2-4), the prayer includes an introduction followed by seven petitions. The structure of the prayer (the first three petitions concerned with the glorification of God and the last four a list of human concerns) and its content make the prayer an epitome of the Christian faith, which stresses the importance of God over humanity.
