If You’re Struggling With What to Pray About, Watch This 

Many of you have asked great questions about our translation of the Lord's Prayer. For example, why do we say "kingdom of the skies" instead of "kingdom of heaven?" Our scholar team begins by translating the original Greek text of Jesus' prayer and comparing it to how other trustworthy biblical translation teams parse those same words and phrases. Their translation aims to preserve the literary design when identical words and repeated phrases appear in the Greek text by making them repeat similarly in English, no matter how often a word or phrase is used. They also try to use words and phrases that convey the same meaning but give new vitality to passages that have become overly familiarized. Some words may sound strange, but these translation choices are a more literal rendering of the Greek text into English. If you're curious for more, Tim and Jon discuss the translation "kingdom of the skies" in a recent Question and Response podcast episode. You can check it out here (starting at 46:19): ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-WUpZLLnc1mU.htmlsi=av9x-dRAu9Ivn_Fz&t=2779

I've never been good at praying. I don't know what to say, what to want, what I'm forgetting to be thankful for. I'm so thankful that Jesus provides us a simple prayer that covers everything at once. Acknowledgement of God's greatness and sovereignty, asking for provision, and hope going forward

Completely random comment here, but as one who did not grow up in a Christian home, I have a, perhaps unique, appreciation for your videos. I can remember babysitting a little girl when I was a teenager. Her parents had toddler VHSs (yes, I'm that old) about Bible stories and even though they were made for kids, they taught me. Shortly after God saved me, I became a mom. Love it or hate it, I learned a lot from the VeggieTales with our son. Your videos are obviously deeper than these examples, but they make some of the tougher and/or confusing parts of the bible more accessible to the lay person. I turned 27 years old in Christ this month, but I still feel like a kid. All of that to say, thank you for what you do. It makes a difference, and I am grateful.

That ending sequence was like something out of a late 90's DreamWorks production. Bravo team! 👏

"Forgiveness is like breathing." Powerful way to look at it I've never heard of before. We can't breath in without breathing out, we can't breath out without breathing in. As is forgiveness is the kingdom of God. Thank you, team. A beautiful work. Jesus lives! ♥️ and is God 🙏🏻 Christ ✝️ and King 👑

THAT SONG!!!! I've never heard the Lord's Prayer like that. Please put it on Spotify! Incredible.

This is NOT a RU-vid channel quality, this is way beyond that, every fraction of your videos looks perfect and mesmerizing, your work should be shown on big screens!!

Dear friends, I come to you with a humble heart, asking for your prayers for my grandmother Justina who recently suffered a stroke. Your prayers mean more than words can express.Thank you, and may God bless you all!

Do not lead us into temptation, but deliver us from the evil one. 🙏🏼

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. Lead us not into temptation, But deliver us from evil. For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory forever. Amen

Loved the song with Aramaic writing and English text. Powerful and haughtingly beautiful.

I keep coming back to this. Each time, I weep when I hear ‘bread’

God will not hurt me. God is not evil. Even if i give him chances he will not take it. He won't hurt me no matter what. What's hurting me is not him. Jesus is good.

The Bible Project is ridiculously anointed, like I genuinely feel this sense of peace and love and calm and worship when I watch your videos, the way you depict heaven, emotions, earth and humans and God it just ALL MAKES SENSE FOR ONCE. I really do pray blessings over all of you guys for what you're doing for the kingdom of God. You truly are a treasure and such a pinnacle in my relationship with God. I love you guys so much. I never wanted this video to end omg ❤

5:50 It hits me so hard that brought me into tears.

"The Lord is good, a refuge in times of trouble. He cares for those who trust in Him. - Nahum 1:7"

The Lord's prayer as a song at the end!!! 🙏🏽 ❤

Oh my, the Lord’s Prayer at the end of the video ❤️❤️🔥

Оче наш који си на небесима, Да се свети име твоје, Да дође царство твоје, Да буде воља твоја на небу као и на Земљи. Хлеб наш насушни дај нам данас, и опрости дуговима нашим као што и ми опраштамо дужницима својим. И не води нас у искушење, но избави нас од зла. У име Оца, Сина и Светога Духа, Амин!

I loved how the color used to represent God's goodness and holiness is the same color Jesus is colored literally showing that Jesus is God's goodness and holiness made human. 🙏

That Hebrew song was so ethereal and beautiful!

The Our Father covers everything. The perfection of this prayer from Jesus is yet another proof of His divinity.

That melody is so powerful and haunting. Top marks for whoever came up with that to frame the Lord's Prayer. Unexpected and moving.

That's so beautiful! God bless Tim, Jon, Everett the director, Richie the musician, and every other artist and BP coworker for their work. May God teach us to live this way, so that his kingdom may come through our lives.

Daily bread 🫓 may also be a sufficient amount of God’s Word😮 📜on a daily basis!

Just wanted to say I really like your channel and it makes it a lot easier for me to learn and retain what is being taught. Can’t stop watching

I was mesmerized by the Lord’s Prayer sung in Hebrew. First, because I love to hear Gregorian Chants. Second, because I am learning Hebrew and I was able to read as they were singing. Be still my soul!

6:48 the Lord's prayer in Aramaic

The section on forgiveness really hit hard. I really struggle to forgive and feel like I have to keep forgiving people. Old wounds will open or people I forgive give me new things to get angry about. Praise Jesus for His grace. I'm so grateful he can be patient and forgive even when I struggle

Thank you. From those with ears and eyes. Thank you.

@6:04 and this is the prayer that Jesus prayed...in the garden. Truly, we can say that He was a man acquainted with our sorrows, our troubles and our tests. No words can express the awe this whole video inspired and the gratefulness for your ministry. The LORD bless you all! P.S. the background vocalization at this prayer point was amazing!

I have always struggled with my prayer life. It is easily the weakest part of my narrow walk in Christ. I live a pretty boring yet very satisfying life now retired after the military. Not much to pray for or about really without it beginning to feel painstakingly repetitive and seeing to become a chore or obligation. Nobody likes a phoney just because Paul says we should do it "unceasingly"! The Lord's prayer three times a day (as biblically expected) is just golden for me. Like Pizza, it hits all the right spots and leaves me feeling fully satisfied. Hope the Lord feels the same........🤔

AH! I love this, I need this. I will come back to this video again and again and again and I will learn this song too!

Absolutely love this beautiful message! All praise to our loving Yahuah Father God and His Son Yeshua Jesus Christ, sacred is His name.

Ever since I was a kid, my parents had a tradition to pray the Lord’s Prayer with me every night before I went to bed. To this day, I still call them each night to pray. Learning about this prayer’s origin felt like rediscovering an old friend, and I want to thank you for providing this experience. God bless this channel.

For thine is the kingdom, the power and the glory, forever and forever. Amen.

The singing of the Our Father prayer was so beautiful it brought me to tears. Thank you for sharing, you are doing amazing work.

My grandmother taught me this prayer when I was little and never forgot it 🥲

Yes❤ I love you all my brothers and sisters in Christ. I'm from East Africa❤❤❤

I was excited about the idea of writing our own versions of this prayer. I prayed for Ritchie writing the new song and was so very moved by its beauty, passion, intensity and the tension. It is beautiful and rich. I want, so very much, to be part of a group, a camarata, a chorus praying this version.

That beautiful song at the end should be given a separate video to allow us to pray too, woow!!its wonderful

You guys make it so easy to understand the Bible. Thank you so much.

Love you love you love you love you love you this all I can say bless be the God for this meaningful teaching

Powerful. Weeping for mankind and we struggle and toil, most without knowing or caring about Him.

And BP has become YHVH granting this request. Todah Rabah

I don't have the words to describe how beautiful this series is

I personally really enjoy to know more about this project. The more I follow this project the more I can understand the truth of Christ . Thank to this project I am finally able to answer my friends' and my own biblical questions and doubts

I love the song! Thank you for this treasure.

This is very beautifully done and well-thought out and well-made. I thank God for the arts being used so prolifically here in this project. Also, nice touch with the Aramaic graffiti on the Latin Roman poster with the word "ܪܩܐ/Raqa" on it. The Aramaic singing was very beautiful to hear and meditate upon.

Bible Project, I served as a minister for 40 years and this beautiful piece of masterful instruction (calling it a video seems to cheapen it) has me in tears. Honestly the most beautiful explanation of the Lord’s prayer and its purpose I have ever heard or seen. I have no more words.

That song was UNREAL. Please release it!

Congratulations this is Magnifying all of us, God bless you guys, beautiful mighty work, one love 👁️♥️👁️

Absolutely amazing. This prayer has become more and more powerful as I’ve made it routine in my daily prayer. Thank you for what you do.

Our creator is so amazing and awesome, words can't describe who hashem is. Shalom and many blessings from Sheridan Wyoming

Thank you for dissecting the Lord's prayer into the key elements, helps us pay close attention on how we should be living daily.

Thank you Beautifully written video. Ethereal singing in Aramaic language Jesus Christ / Yeshua HaMashiach's language. Manashantii The Christian

Thank you for clarifying that forgiveness is not an ok pass to evil!

Trinidad and Tobago 🇹🇹 welcomes you'll to full acceptance in the movement towards our father's kingdom

Always loved how you guys incorperate different art styles in your videos. Very well done.

በሰማያት የምትኖር አባታችን ሆይ፥ ስምህ ይቀደስ፤ መንግሥትህ ትምጣ፤ ፈቃድህ በሰማይ እንደ ሆነች እንዲሁ በምድር ትሁን፤ የዕለት እንጀራችንን ዛሬ ስጠን፤ እኛም ደግሞ የበደሉንን ይቅር እንደምንል በደላችንን ይቅር በለን፤ ከክፉም አድነን እንጂ ወደ ፈተና አታግባን፤ መንግሥት ያንተ ናትና ኃይልም ክብርም ለዘለዓለሙ፤ አሜን።

I shared this video with my daughters tonight when we had our prayer time before bed. Im always trying to teach them - in word and deed - about God and Jesus and how to live the life of a true follower of Christ. I love your videos because they bring the ideas i share with them and the scriptures we read into a focus that is difficult to explain. I believe it helps to strengthen their understanding and lets them know that God is not so far away. Thanks for all you do.

I always interpreted the line “give us our daily bread” as literally Yeshua to be with us, as he was the bread at the last supper. To be all we need, and our earthly needs will be met.

Awesome! Congratulations! Thank you!

The weightyness reflects God's holiness. Perfect.

Thanks for your hard work. Your products have always inspired me and challenged my understanding. I’m grateful for you.

Praise God

My Lords Prayer To our Father and Lord in heaven We (I) gather here today and pray in your almighty name We ask that we may live in your loving and peaceful kingdom each day, knowing in faith that your will is done here on earth as it is in heaven. Give us each day nourishment for our body and feed our minds to better serve In your spirit. Lord we ask you to forgive us of our sins in the same way that you would have us forgive those who have sinned against us. Lord lead us in your favor so that we do not wander into temptation And deliver us from evil, as we seek to live faithfully and in grace from your kingdom Lord as we ask for these things, help us to stand strong, with honor and in your forgiveness as witness to the power and the glory of your light forever and ever.

Omg I love this video....this is beautiful and just what I needed!! Jesus is King ❤️

I love the contrasting animations between "what's going on in the real world" here, and the "underlying wisdom" portions. Aside from looking lively and pretty, it's also a good way to portray the whole story behind the SotM.

My Favorite Prayer ❤❤❤

Incredible work. Thank you all so much for your dedication and time.

You guys do such great work. I love sharing your videos with my daughters. They are easy bite sized bits of the Bible that they can learn from. Thank you for all you do. God bless you and may He keep you safe.

These videos are extremely Powerful content, transforming lives and bringing clarity to the character and nature of God ! Thank you Bible Project team! Thank you so much!!!!

The fact that this prayer also gives us insight on how God wants us to talk to Him, we have access to the SAME prayer our saviour did, the SAME prayer from the God of the universe

God Jesus bless y'all, everyone who worked on this

Great video, thanks be to God who showed me this on how to pray and how to forgive others so thati may be forgiven.

You guys open a whole new world to me with these videos!

❤

We say it at every Mass ✝️🛐

That's a really powerful prayer. Jesus is perfect, he just combined everything into a small prayer.

Just say thank you Jesus be grateful thankful 🙏🏾

I reckon this is one of your best videos. The way you connected the prayer to Jesus' final moments in the garden before his death and resurrection was so enlightening. Also, the claim that the Lord's prayer allows us to live through Jesus is a beautiful sentiment.

Thank you all so much for your time and effort 🙏🏾

That's so beutiful...what a mighty God we have

I am always asking God to give me victory over temptations. However, I love framing of asking God to keep them away all together

PRAISE GOD...

Absolutamente incrível!!!!! Que emoção de ter esse canal… muito obrigado por compartilharem a palavra de DEUS de forma tão linda!!!! ❤️❤️🤍🙌🙌🙌🫂🫂🫂

💛💜💛 AMEN AND AMEN 🙏 THANK YOU 💛

I started praying again the night of July 13th. I’m figuring out how to pray besides saying the daily Our Father and Hail Mary prayers. I’ve finally started talking to, thanking Him, and asking Him to provide for my wants. I’ve started conversing with Him when I have thoughts and feelings I want to share. Only He can hear me.

I love these videos they are so amazing, and a wonderful source of wisdom! ❤

These videos make me cry like a baby. Thank you all for your work and dedication to the word of God.

These videos are magic for every soul, THANK YOU for creating all these videos ! ❤ Please, never delete any of them

Thank you for another great episode "7" Godbless you guys I listen to your podcasts while jogging too. We forgive like breathing just as we say Gods name while breathing 🖤

Thank you this was a great video❤

I dreamt about this prayer last night. Uploaded right on time in my case to want to learn more. This being the prayer that Jesus Himself prayed before going to the cross is something that had not connected with me before. Wonderful explanation and teaching.

Thy will b done on EARTH as it is done in HEAVEN !!! COME SOON LORD !!!

Praise our father! I love you so much. Thank you, Jesus, for bringing us to him!

May Your will be done on earth as it is in Heaven!

The music🤌 love it

I always love your channel. Thank you for this very in depth study of the bible.
