The sovereignty of God and doctrines of grace
What has God decreed and accomplished?
The Lord's Prayer orders our priorities according to God's sovereign purposes: His name, kingdom, and will precede our needs. We pray "your kingdom come" because God alone can establish it; we ask "give us bread" trusting his providential care.
We don't inform God but align with him
Daily bread acknowledges daily dependence
The kingdom comes by God's power, not ours
ἐπιούσιος appears nowhere else in Greek literature—scholars debate "daily/necessary/coming day"
Aorist ἄφες suggests decisive forgiveness
πειρασμός means testing/trial, not just temptation
