The Westminster Shorter Catechism (1646/47) on the Lord’s Prayer:
Q. 104 What do we pray for in the fourth request?
In the fourth request (Give us this day our daily bread) we pray that from God’s free gift we may receive all good things that are needed for this life, and enjoy His blessing with them.
Q. 105 What do we pray for in the fifth request?
In the fifth request (and forgive us our debts, as we also have forgiven our debtors) we pray that God, for Christ’s sake, would freely forgive all our sins. And we are encouraged to ask for this, because by His grace we sincerely can forgive others
Scripture Reading: From Isaiah Forty
*Let Us Sing: I Need Thee Every Hour No. 428

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; and forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors. And lead us not into temptation but deliver us from evil. For Thine is the Kingdom, and the Power, and the Glory, forever. Amen.
*The Doxology:
Praise God from whom all blessings flow
Praise Him all creatures here below
Praise him, above, ye heavenly hosts
Praise Father, Son and Holy Ghost.
