Our Father

Praying is the best way to get connected to and know God. Simply closing your eyes and telling God what your problems and victories of the day are can really ease your mind and soul.
The Our Father is probably the most commonly prayed and famous Christian prayer. Adapted from the words Jesus gave to his disciples when they asked him how to pray, the Our Father is simple and meaningful. However, because of its wording, it can be confusing, (especially for those without knowledge of the Bible) to comprehend. Below are the words to the Our Father, as well as my translation of what each section means.

Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name.
(God, our Father, who is in heaven, your name is blessed.)
Thy kingdom come, thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven.
(When Jesus comes for the final judgment, he will bring those faithful to him to heaven.)
Give us this day our daily bread,
(While the Bible states that this sentence means "let that judgment day be today" I believe that it can also be interpreted as "Please Jesus, come be with us today.")
and forgive us our trespasses
(Forgive our sins)
as we forgive those who trespass against us.
(As we forgive the people who sin against us.)
And lead us not into temptation
(And please lead us from sin)
but deliver us from evil.
(But save us from evil.)
For the kingdom, the power, and the glory are yours, now and forever.
(The kingdoms of heaven and earth, power, and glory are yours now and will be until the end of time. This sentence may be omitted by some.)
Amen.
(Truly- also to be firm, steady, or trustworthy, depending on the context. Amen is actually a Hebrew word.)

An important thing to keep in mind while praying, especially when praying memorized prayers such as this, is to concentrate on what the words mean as you are saying them. If you just numbly repeat words without feeling anything for them or truly thinking what you are saying, the depth of the prayer is lost. Just like the difference in saying "I'm sorry," in a bored voice with no inflection, as opposed to saying "I'm sorry," while weeping, repeating and truly praying are two separate things.
