Wow,the Lord's Prayer,vain repetition? No wonder I have so much trouble understanding some people on this thread,who seem to have spent considerable time studying something.
I was happy to see that you did close with acknowledging that it was the way you felt about it. That you recognize that,is good.
I don't want you to think that I believe the Lord's prayer is a bad prayer. It's holy and it's wonderful. But often when we repeat things like the Lord's prayer or the Apostle's Creed it becomes somewhat like a religious rite, just something you say without any meaning. We run through it because it's so familiar. It loses its meaning when we do that. A prayer from the heart is always better in a group situation like this, in my opinion.
