On The Lord's Prayer by Tertullian
A concise theological and practical guide to Christian prayer that treats the Lord’s Prayer as the model formula: it defends the necessity and power of prayer, insists on simplicity, brevity, sincerity, and avoidance of ostentation or superstitious practices, and interprets each petition (God’s reverence, coming of his kingdom, provision of daily needs, forgiveness of sins, and deliverance from evil) to teach dependence on God’s fatherly providence, the need for mutual forgiveness, and the proper attitude and frequency of prayer in both private and communal life.
