The Lord’s prayer in Matt 6:9-13 walks us through how to pray. It’s not the only way to pray, but it provides some guidlines for how we can pray effectively.
You may have repeated this pray hundreds of times but it provides a great outline for our prayer life. It’s simple, beautiful and powerful. If we sue the principles in His prayer, we can use them to help us develop our own prayer life.

9 Pray like this: Our Father in heaven, may your name be kept holy. 10 May your Kingdom come soon. May your will be done on earth, as it is in heaven. 11 Give us today the food we need, 12 and forgive us our sins, as we have forgiven those who sin against us. 13 And don’t let us yield to temptation, but rescue us from the evil one.
