  1. 1

    What do the words "For yours is the kingdom and the power and the glory" tell us about God?

    What does the word "Amen" mean, and why does it matter?

Illustration

When you mail a letter to someone important, you put their name and address on the front. The conclusion of the Lord's Prayer is like that. It puts God's name, his kingdom, his power, and his glory on the front of every request we just made. We are saying these prayers go to the one who can actually answer them.

Application

The next time you finish praying, say the conclusion out loud slowly. Let the word "Amen" be a real statement of trust, not just a signal that you are done. "Yes, yes, it shall be so" means you believe God heard you.
