This website was written by David Uijl, a Dutch author. He published a book about the Lord’s Prayer in the Netherlands, which was a bestseller on Amazon for three months. The message resonated, and David wanted to share the knowledge with an international audience, on a non-profit basis.
“In 2018, I became frustrated with my prayer life. It seemed like I wasn’t getting anything done. I hit rock bottom, and I asked the same question as the disciple in Luke 11: Lord, how should I pray?
Jesus’s answer was the familiar prayer. The only prayer the Creator of heaven and earth has given us. I expected His prayer to have enormous power. Unfortunately, I’d never experienced that. So I decided to analyze the original text together with two professors from two different theological universities.
We concluded that the translators had stripped the Lord’s Prayer of its power. Understandable, not intentional, but very bad nonetheless. The Lord’s Prayer doesn’t begin with an abstract wish for the distant future. No, the Lord’s Prayer offers a three-step plan for performing a miracle in the life of an unbeliever. Not for the sake of the miracle itself, but as irrefutable testimony that Jesus is God.
