The Prayer Jesus Taught Us — On the Wall of the Home That Prays It

One day, the disciples came to Jesus with a request that was as simple and as profound as any request ever made: “Lord, teach us to pray” (Luke 11:1). And Jesus answered them with the most extraordinary gift — not a lecture on prayer, not a theology of prayer, but a prayer itself. Words to say. A pattern to follow. A way of coming to God that was so complete, so perfectly structured, so beautifully balanced between adoration and petition and surrender that two thousand years later, in every language on earth, in every tradition of the Christian faith, in churches and homes and hospital rooms and prison cells and deathbeds and delivery rooms, the people of God still pray these words. 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 trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us. 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 Our Father Splendid Fence sign by Sincere Surroundings puts these words — the words Jesus gave us, the prayer He taught us to pray — on the wall of the home. Not as decoration. As a declaration. In this home, we pray. And this is how Jesus taught us to do it.

The Prayer Line by Line — What Jesus Was Teaching

“Our Father, who art in heaven” — Jesus begins by teaching us who we are praying to. Not a distant deity, not an impersonal force, not a God who must be appeased or earned. Father. The most intimate word in the human vocabulary, applied to the Creator of the universe. And not my Father — our Father. The prayer is communal from its very first word. We come to God together, as a family, as a people who belong to the same Father.

“Hallowed be thy name” — before we ask for anything, we worship. We acknowledge who He is. We declare that His name is holy — set apart, above all other names, worthy of all reverence and all honor. The prayer begins not with our needs but with His glory.

“Thy kingdom come, thy will be done, on earth as it is in heaven” — the surrender at the heart of the prayer. Not my kingdom. Not my will. His. The prayer that releases the grip on our own plans and our own agendas and says: what You want, Lord, is what I want. Let Your will be done here, in this home, in this life, in this moment, as completely and as joyfully as it is done in heaven.

“Give us this day our daily bread” — the permission to ask. To bring our needs to God — not our five-year plan, not our retirement strategy, but today’s bread. Today’s provision. The trust that God is present in the ordinary, daily, practical needs of the life He gave us, and that He is glad to be asked.

“Forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us” — the most searching line in the prayer. We ask for forgiveness in the same breath that we commit to extending it. The prayer that keeps the heart clean and the relationships whole — the one that makes community possible and reconciliation real.

“Lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil” — the acknowledgment of our own weakness and our complete dependence on God’s protection. We cannot navigate this world alone. We need to be led. We need to be delivered. And God is both willing and able to do both.

“For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, forever. Amen.” — the prayer ends where it began: with Him. Not with our needs met or our requests granted, but with the declaration that the kingdom is His, the power is His, the glory is His — forever. The prayer that begins in worship ends in worship. And everything in between is the conversation of a child with a Father who loves them completely.

The Splendid Fence — Beautiful Craftsmanship for the Home That Prays

Available in two sizes — 14" x 20" for a smaller wall space, a bedroom, a hallway, or a prayer corner, and 21" x 30.25" for a commanding, beautiful presence in a living room, dining room, entryway, or any room where the whole family gathers. The Splendid Fence collection by Sincere Surroundings brings the warmth and character of rustic, fence-inspired design to the most meaningful words in the Christian home — the result is a piece that is as beautiful as it is true, as decorative as it is devotional. Hang it in the entryway so that every person who enters the home is greeted by the prayer that governs it. Hang it in the bedroom so that the last thing seen before sleep and the first thing seen in the morning is the prayer Jesus taught. Hang it in the dining room so that the family that gathers at the table gathers under the words of the Lord’s Prayer. Wherever it hangs, it will be the most meaningful piece in the room.
