The Spirit of the Lord's Prayer.

The spirit of the Lord's prayer is beautiful. That form of petition breathes a filial spirit—"Father."
A catholic spirit—"Our Father."
A reverential spirit—"Hallowed be thy name."
A missionary spirit—"Thy kingdom come."
An obedient spirit—"Thy will be done on earth."
A dependent spirit—"Give us this day our daily bread."
A forgiving spirit—"And forgive our trespasses as we forgive them that trespass against us."
A cautious spirit—"Lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil."
A confidential and adoring spirit—"For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever and ever. Amen."
