Let Us Pray: FOREWORD


Anyone who speaks or writes on the so-called Lord’s Prayer has entered a field of controversy because of the two extreme interpretations of the Prayer—the ultra-liberal and the super-conservative. Any exposition on this prayer comes into the range of the heavy artillery of one or both of these groups. My purpose in examining it is not to enter the field of apologetics or logistics, but to strengthen the deep desire for reality in prayer in these days of superficiality.

The only excuse for studying the Prayer is to lay upon the heart of God’s people the urgency for knocking on His door, the necessity for asking, and the importunity for seeking. Nevertheless, in our zeal and enthusiasm we have stressed the importance of knocking at the right door, asking in the proper way, and seeking in the correct direction.

This message is sent out with the prayer that it may stimulate God’s people to “pray without ceasing” (1 Thessalonians 5:17).
