The Lord's Prayer

Every year, millions of Christians around the world prepare themselves for Easter by recognising the season of Lent, a time to walk with God in anticipation, reflection and humility.

This Lent, join Common Grace as we create space in our busy lives to journey together reflecting and praying the prayer Jesus taught us to pray: The Lord’s Prayer.

In 2023, we have invited Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Christian Leaders from across the country to help us journey through The Lord’s Prayer in this season of Lent. 

Each week we will be sharing a short video reflection from a different Aboriginal Christian Leader with discussion questions and prayers to help you engage more deeply. 

This weekly series will be published online and shared with the Common Grace movement as an email series and through social media.

Join us this Lent as we gather together to reflect and listen deeply to the voices of our Aboriginal Christian Leaders calling us to prayer in 2023, as we face a significant moment for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander justice in our country. 

Sign up to have this series delivered to your inbox weekly, starting on Wednesday 22 February 2023. 

Through this series we hope you are inspired, moved, convicted and confronted as we explore how Jesus calls us to pray to see His Kingdom come today.
