The Lord's Prayer as the most known prayer among Christians generates many questions and even debates. In these days, prayer and especially the Lord's Prayer, has a strong tendency to navigate from rational activity to stereotypy. Many people use to pray without having a good understanding of what the Lord intended by those words included in his example of prayer. The custom of praying is vitally important for any believer but even more important is a good understanding of the principles of prayer inserted in the Lord's Prayer. In order to help the reader to be conscious of the importance of the words used in prayer, the author makes an exegetical exercise on Matthew 6:9-13 trying to find an answer to the most common issues related to the understanding, usage and meaning of the proposed prayer: how to hollow the name of the Lord, how to understand the coming the Kingdom, what is the meaning of our daily bread, who are one's debtors` or what is the meaning of the leading into temptation.

In this article we will explore how Matthew leads its Jewish-Christian readers, sometime late in the 1st century and during theprocess of the separation of early believers from the synago.
