obligated to one thing
Just noticed this as I was praying this past week.
Our Father,
Who art in Heaven; hallowed be Thy Name.
Thy Kingdom come, Thy will be done;
On Earth as it is in Heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread.
Forgive us our sins, as we forgive those who have sinned against us.
Lead us not into temptation;
But deliver us from evil.
For Thine is the Kingdom and the power and the glory forever.
Amen
In the prayer Jesus taught us, besides being obligated to pray in this manner - I am only obligated to forgive - each of the other items in this prayer are requests, praise or acknowledgement of God as being God.
Help me be merciful as You are merciful, Father.
Great observation. Oh what a world this would be if we could get a handle on that one.
