The Lord’s Prayer

“For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, forever. Amen.”
Memory Verse: “Even from everlasting to everlasting, thou art God.” Ps. 90: 2.
The first word of the last sentence of the prayer connects it with all that has gone before. “For” has the meaning of “because.”
Why should God’s name be hallowed? why should his kingdom come? why should his will be done? why should we ask him for daily bread, for forgiveness of sin, for deliverance from evil? — Because his “is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, forever.”
