Based on Matthew 6:9–13

The Lord’s prayer. There have been many a story about pastors who have gone to visit homebound members in their homes and at nursing homes and those folks are comforted by hearing the Lord’s prayer. More incredible stories include people who are struggling with memory challenges, who may not even recognize their own family members, but are able to recite the Lord’s prayer. And when they do, they experience a sense of calm and clarity that they haven’t had in a long time. The Lord’s prayer is a source of comfort for many.
