“Eternal” - ‘ad “Father” - ab Because the book of Isaiah was written in Hebrew, we’ll be paying attention to the meaning of these words from their Hebrew uses. You are free to use this word study to whatever extent you desire. We suggest you read the translations and definitions, then meditate on the third messianic title of Isaiah 9:6 with these new meanings in mind. If you want and are able to, visit the cross references and make notes about the variety of uses, considering how these uses may contribute to a deeper understanding of Jesus’ character. Everlasting, evermore, perpetually In perpetuity of past time and future time; ancient and unending Cross References: Exodus 15:18; Job 20:4; Psalm 90; 145:21; Isaiah 45:17; 1 Chronicles 29:10-12 Father, chief God as father of his people; head or founder of a household or family Cross References: Genesis 17:4; Genesis 50:1; Exodus 4:22; 2 Corinthians 6:16-18. The Lord’s Prayer can absolutely be prayed through word-by-word, as it is given to us in Scripture. But, it also can act as a wonderful template for a longer time of prayer by slowing down through each line or thought. Feel free to take it at your own pace, listening to the Spirit’s prompting. For example: “Our Father”... Think about the idea of God as your loving Parent, one who has good and kind intentions toward you. “In heaven”... Remind yourself that God is all around and with you. Remember that heaven is not a far off place, but is the unseen parts of what is right here with us on earth. “Hallowed be your name”... Imagine the whole world worshiping God. Hope and pray for every space of your ordinary life to be filled with God’s goodness and glory. Continue praying The Lord’s Prayer in this way. If you need to, you can even break it up to pray and meditate through only a few parts per day. Take your time. 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 of our debts... as we forgive our debtors... lead us not into temptation... but deliver us from the evil one... for the kingdom and the power and the glory are yours now and forever. Amen. This prayer practice is adapted from Practicing The Way’s “The Prayer Practice”.
Today is a time to reflect, remember, and practice. Think back on the last few days of our time in this prayer guide. How has your understanding of Jesus as your Wonderful Counselor changed? Take a moment to thank God for this. What Scriptures have you read and/or prayed this week that have helped you the most? Finally, practice praying Scripture. Choose one of the Scriptures from this week’s guide, or another from your personal life and write it out as a prayer. Share this prayer with a loved one and pray it for them.
Read Psalm 139 and pray God’s words back to Him. • Focus your attention on the nearness of God in every moment, “You know when I sit down and when I rise up... You search out my path and my lying down...” • Even before you knew you existed, God was with you, “You formed my inward parts; You knitted me together in my mother’s womb.” • How does God’s nearness with you and knowledge of you lead and provide coun- sel to you? “Search me... know my heart... try me... know my thoughts... lead me in the way everlasting.”
Day 2 includes a word study and in introduction to praying Scripture back to God. Because the book of Isaiah was written in Hebrew, we’ll be paying attention to the meaning of these words from their Hebrew uses. You are free to use this word study to whatever extent you desire. We suggest you read the translations and definitions, then meditate on the second messianic title of Isaiah 9:6 with these new meanings in mind. If you want and are able to, visit the cross references and make notes about the variety of uses, considering how these uses may contribute to a deeper understanding of Jesus’ character.
We are excited to intentionally pray together as a church family this Advent Season. This Prayer Guide was written and designed by Redeemer’s own people and aligns with our Advent sermon series on Isaiah 9:6. Each week is designed to provide devotional commentary on a messianic title from Isaiah 9:6 as well as teach you a prayer practice that you can use well after the Advent season. You can pick up a printed copy on the resource wall (outside of the Sanctuary) or follow along with the digital version at redeemersanangelo.com/advent.
