I could not agree with you more. It is among the only "no-lose" prayers that we know of by Christ's examples...In this case, when we make it up, there is a full possibility of "losing". That is, if it is not in accordance with God's will. With the Lord's Prayer, that is not possible."
I couldn't have said it better, FK. Thank you. Your definition captures the essential difference between our God-given Prayer, in His own divine words, and our made up prayers.
