Learning from the Lord's Prayer

Prayer is a way to communicate with your Father in Heaven. Pray daily and sincerely.

The four steps of prayer include:

1. Our Father in Heaven

2. I thank thee.... [Thank Him for specific blessings and things you are thankful for]

3. I ask thee....[Ask for His help. Plead with Him. Confide in Him. Talk with Him. Pour out your heart to Him. Tell Him how you really feel. Council with Him in all your doings on any topic.  Ask Him to guide and direct you. Ask Him to bless and help other people and mention their specific names. Be completely honest and sincere with Him]

4. In the name of Jesus Christ, Amen.

"All things, whatsoever ye shall ask in prayer, believing, ye shall receive."
(Matthew 21:22)

"Therefore I say unto you, What things soever ye desire, when ye pray, believe that ye receive them, and ye shall have them." (Mark 11:24)

"With God all things are possible." (Matthew 19:26)

Jesus teaches His disciples the correct manner of prayer and offers the Lord's Prayer. Matthew 6:1-13 1 Take heed that ye do not your alms before men, to be seen of them: otherwise ye have no reward of your Father which is in heaven.

2 Therefore when thou doest thine alms, do not sound a trumpet before thee, as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and in the streets, that they may have glory of men. Verily I say unto you, They have their reward.

3 But when thou doest alms, let not thy left hand know what thy right hand doeth:

4 That thine alms may be in secret: and thy Father which seeth in secret himself shall reward thee openly.

5 ¶And when thou prayest, thou shalt not be as the hypocrites are: for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and in the corners of the streets, that they may be seen of men. Verily I say unto you, They have their reward.

6 But thou, when thou prayest, enter into thy closet , and when thou hast shut thy door, pray to thy Father which is in secret ; and thy Father which seeth in secret shall reward thee openly.

7 But when ye pray, use not vain repetitions , as the heathen do: for they think that they shall be heard for their much speaking.

8 Be not ye therefore like unto them: for your Father knoweth what things ye have need of, before ye ask him.

9 After this manner therefore pray ye: Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name .

10 Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven.

11 Give us this day our daily bread .

12 And forgive us our debts , as we forgive our debtors.

13 And lead us not into temptation , but deliver us from evil: For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory , for ever. Amen.
