Since the main body of the Lord's Prayer consists of pledges to our Maker,it follows that we have to live this prayer! The prayer must become a living experience for us (not just a set of words that we rattle off!)
This last part of the prayer comes therefore as a jubilant expression of our reliance on the Omnipotence of God. It is a confession of total trust in the power which the Lord bestows on all who trust in Him - the power to do all the things that has been promised at the feet of The Almighty by the praying soul!
When however, we live our lives in fulfilment of the pledges in the Lord's Prayer we are on the way that leads to the Kingdom of Heaven, the Eternal Gardens of the blessed. Therefore, this prayer is at the same time a staff that supports us in our life's journey.
May we live accordingly!
