A model prayer
Jesus taught this to his disciples,
"This, then, is how you should pray:
" ‘Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your name, your kingdom come, your will be done on earth as it is in heaven.
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.'
For if you forgive men when they sin against you, your heavenly Father will also forgive you.
But if you do not forgive men their sins, your Father will not forgive your sins. Matthew 6:9-15.
The prayer is simple.
First, we honour God.
Second, we ask that His kingdom come
Third, we ask that His will be done on earth as it is in heaven.
Forth, We ask that He supply our daily needs.
Fifth, We ask that He forgives our debts (Sins) as we have forgiven those who have sinned against us.
Sixth, We ask that God lead us away from temptation
Seventh, That God delivers us from the evil one.
Then Jesus adds this warning saying,
“For if you forgive men when they sin against you, your heavenly Father will also forgive you.
But if you do not forgive men their sins, your Father will not forgive your sins.”
So is this the way you pray?
