# Be Ready - Monday, 2025.11.24 ## 24 - And Father, I have some random thoughts I want to discuss with You. - For the most part, conjunctions such as "and" & "or" could be considered filler words like "like" is used today - On the other hand, in legal documents and in computer programming, the correct usage vs the incorrect can yield radically different results. - So, when Matthew recorded Your Son's words in the book of Matthew how important / how significant are the two "ands" in these five verses? Father, I must confess my thoughts / questions discussed here don't reach the same level of urgency as many of the other ones we have discussed in the past. Unless otherwise directed (UNIDIR), I don't intend - to stand at my guard post - to station myself at the ramparts - to watch to see what You will say to me or how I should answer (See Habakkuk 2.1) Nevertheless, thank You for Your Word! I always look forward to hearing from You and getting to know You better! May the earth will be filled with the knowledge of Your glory as the waters cover the sea! (See Habakkuk 2.14) ### Passage So then, this 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 this day our daily bread. And forgive us our debts, as we also have forgiven our debtors. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from the evil one.’ {Matthew 6.9-13 (BSB)}
