To explore the meaning of the ‘Our Father’ prayer

2. Our Father (God is like a father who loves us and guides us).
Who art in heaven (God is in heaven)
Hallowed be your name ( We worship you)
Your Kingdom come ( I want what you want to happen on earth)
Your will be done on earth as it is in heaven (I want earth to be like heaven)
Give us this day our daily bread (Please give us what we need to live)
Forgive us our trespasses (forgive us for what we have done wrong).
As we forgive those who trespass against us (and help us to forgive others)
Lead us not into temptation but deliver us from evil (Help us to avoid evil and to resist temptation)
Amen (I think so too – to be faithful, support or confirm)
What does "amen" mean?
“Amen” is a Hebrew word that stems from the word aman, which means “to be faithful, support, or confirm.” The word “amen” actually means, “so be it,” or “truly.”
Therefore, when we end our prayers with "amen," we are re-affirming our dedication to God through Jesus Christ. We also use it to confirm a statement (i.e., when the pastor says something powerful out of the Word of God, and members of the congregation say "Amen").
