I have been in services where it is done and it seems like a ritual.

Well, it is good that you know what is in the hearts of your fellow Christians, that is a great talent.

I came to that conclusion after asking several folks, including my own family, what they learned from the prayer. Most answers were; “It’s part of the service.” You don’t need to be heart or mind reader to conclude it is largely a thoughtless recital for most.

I’ll concede that a few really do study God’s word, and these verses, and have a greater appreciation repeating them.

Can you recite the Lord’s Prayer without reading it. Do you know the chapter of the Bible and the exact verses where this is found. What is significant about the preceding chapter?
