The Lord’s Prayer can be found in the book of Luke and Matthew although differences between the two passages can be found. Later versions of the text has some added words that were not originally in the text. What makes the text a bit ironic is that in Matthew, it says this right before it introduces the prayer:
“When you are praying, do not heap up empty phrases as the Gentiles do; for they think that they will be heard because of their many words. Do not be like them, for your Father knows what you need before you ask him.” However, for most people this text is so familiar that the words fall empty when recited. What also makes it ironic is that although these words to the Lord’s Prayers are familiar, people often do not understand what the words in the text mean.
For example, when the prayer says things like “hallowed be your name” and “Your kingdom come”, most people who pray this prayer do not actually understand what these things mean which in turn means that their prayer is empty.
