As I was studying the Lord’s Prayer in my Dake Reference Bible, I came across this and thought it was very interesting. Jesus really packed a lot into these few words as He was teaching us how to pray.
**********
23 Elements of the Lord’s Prayer
1. Relationship: Our Father
2. Recognition: which art in heaven
3. Adoration: hallowed be thy name
4. Anticipation: Thy kingdom come
5. Consecration: Thy will be done
6. Universality: in earth
7. Conformity: as it is in heaven
8. Supplication: Give us
9. Definiteness: this day
10. Necessity: our daily bread
11. Penitence: And forgive us
12. Obligation: our debts
13. Forgiveness: as we forgive
14. Love and mercy: our debtors
15. Guidance: And lead us
16. Protection: not into temptation
17. Salvation: but deliver us
18. Righteousness: from evil
19. Faith: For thine is the kingdom
20. Humility: and the power
21. Reverence: and the glory
22. Timelessness: for ever
23. Affirmation: Amen
NOTE:
The first 3 petitions of the prayer make 7 points concerning God
The last 4 petitions make 16 points concerning man
