THE LORD'S PRAYER

GIVE US EACH DAY OUR DAILY BREAD. The Lord's prayer takes care of our today.

AND FORGIVE US OUR SINS. The Lord's prayer takes care of our yesterday.

DO NOT SUBJECT US TO THE FINAL TEST. The Lord's prayer takes care of our tomorrow.

This is the wisdom of the Lord's prayer: it encompasses the entire horizon of our time - today, yesterday and tomorrow. All of our time is before God. All of our time is in God's eternity. God takes care of our today, yesterday and tomorrow. In God's love there is never a "time-out."
