  What is the real "Lord's Prayer" really all about?
  

  Contrary to popular belief, the Lord's prayer is not the prayer found in Matthew 6: 9-13 where it states:   "This, then, is how you should pray: " 'Our Father in heaven,
  hallowed be your name, your kingdom come, your will be done on earth as it is in heaven.  Give us today our daily bread.  Forgive us our debts, as we also have forgiven our debtors.  And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from the evil one.
  
  This prayer is actually the "model prayer", where Jesus was teaching us how we should pray.  The Lord's prayer is actually a prayer that Jesus himself prayed on behalf of the saints.  This prayer can be found in the book of John, chapter 17:
  
  

  Jesus Prays for Himself

   ¹After Jesus said this, he looked toward heaven and prayed: "Father, the time has come. Glorify your Son, that your Son may glorify you. ²For you granted him authority over all people that he might give eternal life to all those you have given him. ³Now this is eternal life: that they may know you, the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom you have sent. ⁴I have brought you glory on earth by completing the work you gave me to do. ⁵And now, Father, glorify me in your presence with the glory I had with you before the world began.
   
  

  Jesus Prays for His Disciples

   ⁶"I have revealed you^[a] to those whom you gave me out of the world. They were yours; you gave them to me and they have obeyed your word. ⁷Now they know that everything you have given me comes from you. ⁸For I gave them the words you gave me and they accepted them. They knew with certainty that I came from you, and they believed that you sent me. ⁹I pray for them. I am not praying for the world, but for those you have given me, for they are yours. ¹⁰All I have is yours, and all you have is mine. And glory has come to me through them. ¹¹I will remain in the world no longer, but they are still in the world, and I am coming to you. Holy Father, protect them by the power of your name—the name you gave me—so that they may be one as we are one. ¹²While I was with them, I protected them and kept them safe by that name you gave me. None has been lost except the one doomed to destruction so that Scripture would be fulfilled. ¹³"I am coming to you now, but I say these things while I am still in the world, so that they may have the full measure of my joy within them. ¹⁴I have given them your word and the world has hated them, for they are not of the world any more than I am of the world. ¹⁵My prayer is not that you take them out of the world but that you protect them from the evil one. ¹⁶They are not of the world, even as I am not of it. ¹⁷Sanctify^[b] them by the truth; your word is truth. ¹⁸As you sent me into the world, I have sent them into the world. ¹⁹For them I sanctify myself, that they too may be truly sanctified.
  
  

  Jesus Prays for All Believers

   ²⁰"My prayer is not for them alone. I pray also for those who will believe in me through their message, ²¹that all of them may be one, Father, just as you are in me and I am in you. May they also be in us so that the world may believe that you have sent me. ²²I have given them the glory that you gave me, that they may be one as we are one: ²³I in them and you in me. May they be brought to complete unity to let the world know that you sent me and have loved them even as you have loved me. ²⁴"Father, I want those you have given me to be with me where I am, and to see my glory, the glory you have given me because you loved me before the creation of the world. ²⁵"Righteous Father, though the world does not know you, I know you, and they know that you have sent me. ²⁶I have made you known to them, and will continue to make you known in order that the love you have for me may be in them and that I myself may be in them."
  
  In this, The Lord's Prayer, Jesus' primary concerns are that:
  
  1.  God will be glorified and that He will be glorified through the Father.
  2.  God will protect and unite His disciples who are left behind after His death. 
  3.  God will unite all believers as one through the son and through the Father.
  
  Jesus' primary concern for end time believers is that we be UNITED as one through Him and His Father.  In order for us to carry out the mission of Heavenly Skyways, we must come together as one- just like Jesus and the Father are one.  How in the world are Christians all over the world, going to come together in these perilous end times when the love of most (even Christians) is growing colder and colder?  We must put away hatred, unforgiveness, lack of knowledge and wisdom, and disobedience and be about our Father's business for the sake of His kingdom.  For more information visit www.heavenlyskyways.com.
