Jesus teaches us how to pray, rather than just
mindlessly reciting the Lord's Prayer below, it is a template of how we
should be praying.
Firstly, thank and praise God. Secondly, pray for spreading of
His Word and for other people. Thirdly, pray yourself. Lastly
pray for forgiveness.
And here's one more tip from below (v5-8) pray honestly and in your own
words. Talk to God today.

Matthew 6: 5-15
5"And when you pray, do not be like the hypocrites, for
they love to pray standing in the synagogues and on the street corners to
be seen by men. I tell you the truth, they have received their reward in
full. 6But when you pray, go into your room, close the door and
pray to your Father, who is unseen. Then your Father, who sees what is
done in secret, will reward you. 7And when you pray, do not
keep on babbling like pagans, for they think they will be heard because of
their many words. 8Do not be like them, for your Father knows
what you need before you ask him.
9"This, then, is how you should pray:
" 'Our Father in heaven,
hallowed be your name,
10your kingdom come,
your will be done
on earth as it is in heaven.
11Give us today our daily bread.
12Forgive us our debts,
as we also have forgiven our
debtors.
13And lead us not into temptation,
but deliver us from the evil one.' 14For if
you forgive men when they sin against you, your heavenly Father will also
forgive you. 15But if you do not forgive men their sins, your
Father will not forgive your sins. |
