Luke 11:2 - Additional Comments

This prayer is a skeletal one, one which can be filled in with much greater detail. It outlines the essential elements of our prayers.
We are to:
(1) Recognize God for who He is and glorify His name. The first element of prayer has to do with the authority of the Father being fully established on the earth, and for His glory and splendour to be revealed at this time.
(2) Pray for His program and His will to be accomplished. This will be complete at His second coming.
(3) Ask for daily food. Bread stands not only for "food" but also for all of the other areas of physical need. The Father is the Sustainer of life and here He is to be petitioned to meet our physical needs.
(4) Forgiveness of sins, and deliverance from sin and evil.
The prayer deals with the spiritual needs of saints who still sin. Salvation delivers one from the penalty of sin, but only the return of Christ will rid the saint of the presence of sin. There is no sinless perfection in this life. Thus, Jesus taught his disciples to pray for forgiveness for their sins.
These points are elementary and not exhaustive. Mature prayer will not be limited to these initial requests, but should at least contain these basic points.
This is a contrast between God and the friend who eventually opened the door. God is more than a friend, and will certainly grant our needs much more readily than the man
