Ladies and Gentlemen, our LORD taught His Disciples to PRAY in Matthew 6:5-15

.

And when you pray, you shall not be like the hypocrites. For they love to pray standing in the synagogues and on the corners of the streets, that they may be seen by men. Assuredly, I say to you, they have their reward. But you, when you pray, go into your room, and when you have shut your door, pray to your Father who is in the secret place; and your Father who sees in secret will reward you openly. And when you pray, do not use vain repetitions as the heathen do. For they think that they will be heard for their many words. Therefore do not be like them. For your Father knows the things you have need of before you ask Him.

 

In this manner, therefore, pray:

  

Our Father in Heaven, Hallowed be Your Name.

Your Kingdom come {be established in my life}. Your Will be done on earth as it is in Heaven.

Give us this day our daily bread. {Feed us on Your Word today, for we hunger for Your Truth}

And forgive us our debts, {in exactly the same manner} as we forgive our debtors.

And do not lead us into temptation, but deliver us from the evil one.

 

For Yours is the Kingdom and the Power and the Glory forever.  Amen!

 

For if you forgive men their trespasses, your Heavenly Father will also forgive you. But if you do not forgive men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses.

 

This is how we should begin to pray – Worship God; understand His Relationship to us; proclaim His Truth; trust in His Provision. Forgive every offense; every debt; every transgression; avoid anything evil; and recognize whose Kingdom this is. Who is Sovereign and in charge; submit to His Authority in all matters; and Honor and Respect His Great Grace that has been to each of us knowing that we must love one another in exactly the same manner as He has LOVED us – unconditionally!

 

Make it so Dear Lord Jesus, make it so!
