Give Us This Day is more than a reflective exposition of The Lord's Prayer - it is about prayer in general and the ways prayer manifests itself in our relationships. By emphasizing the "us" in the prayer, Tom Kingery nurtures the relevance of what Jesus has given in teaching us this prayer.

Stanley Jones has said that "prayer is not so much an act as an attitude." The author likes to say that prayer is the poetry of the soul. It becomes an outward expression of an inward state of being. Prayer, as an attitude, involves a threefold relationship: with yourself, with God, and with the world. But more than anything else, prayer is what makes us, as human beings, the image and likeness of God. When we are praying, we are spiritual beings trying to connect to the spirit of God.
