Did you notice the pronouns in the Lord's prayer? Our Father; give us our daily bread; forgive us our trespasses.
How different is this than many of our prayers. I pray for my needs, my family, my health, my friends. This prayer teaches us that we are not individual Christians but we are part of a community. We may come to Christ as individuals but we do not remain individual Christians. It is much more than "Jesus and me".
