While many of us grew up reciting the Lord's Prayer, there is more to its meaning than trust in God's daily provision. When understood and prayed in its original Aramaic, the language of Jesus, the Lord's Prayer yields astonishingly fresh insights into the nature of God, prayer, creation and human’s role in it. The Lord's Prayer is really not to be "recited" as much as it is to be "chanted", attuning to the Divine vibration of God.
