Good thoughts on the Lord's Prayer. I haven't used the prayer as an everyday one but I will be using it on a daily basis as I feel the need.

I am really loving this, I think being episcopalian and saying this every single sunday, it is nice to actually REAlly think about what it means in general, and then what it means to me personally. I think for me when I have prayed "lead us not into temp" I have always just had the mindset of myself - cuz generally I am my own worst enemy as far as being tempted into what is not what God wants for me, but IS what I want for me. your views are interesting on the 3 things, flesh - which is the only way I have ever thought about it, then secondly world and thirdly satan... interesting indeed

Interesting thought about the prayer and the sermon on the mount being spiritual warfare. I will be thinking more on this.
