The Lord’s Prayer can be divided into three parts: the petition for help, the blessing, and the thanksgiving. The petition for help begins with “Our Father who art in heaven,” and asks God to help us in our work. The blessing asks God to bless us and keep us safe in our work, and the thanksgiving acknowledges God’s many blessings on our lives, including our work.
