Your Prayer
“This, then, is how you should pray:"
‘Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your name,

Give us today our daily bread.
Forgive us our debts,
as we also have forgiven our debtors.
And lead us not into temptation,
but deliver us from the evil one.’
Matthew 6:9-13

We need as the Apostle Paul writes,
Question:
How is your prayer life? Do think you take enough time each day to pray to God?
Please think about it.
