Jesus Teaches About Prayer




Matthew 6:5-13, "When you pray, do not be like the hypocrites, for they love to stand in the synagogues and on street corners to be seen by men. But when you pray, go into your room and close the door to pray to your Father Who is unseen. Then your Father Who sees what is done in secret, will reward you. Don't babble as pagans do. They think they will be heard because of the many words they speak. Do not be like them. This is how you should pray:
'Our Father Who art in heaven,
Holy is Your Name.
Your kingdom come,
Your will be done
on earth as it is in heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread.
Forgive us our sins
as we forgive those who sin against us.
Lead us not into temptation,
but deliver us from the evil one."

Next week, the LORD's Prayer will be taken in context by each part and what it means to us.
