Matthew
Chapter 6
5
"And when you pray, you must not be like the hypocrites. For they love to stand and pray in the synagogues and at the street corners, that they may be seen by others. Truly, I say to you, they have received their reward.
6
But when you pray, go into your room and shut the door and pray to your Father who is in secret. And your Father who sees in secret will reward you.
7
"And when you pray, do not heap up empty phrases as the Gentiles do, for they think that they will be heard for their many words.
8
Do not be like them, for your Father knows what you need before you ask him.
9
Pray then like this: "Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your name.
10
Your kingdom come, your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven.
11
Give us this day our daily bread,
12
and forgive us our debts, as we also have forgiven our debtors.
13
And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil.

PRAY LIKE JESUS - Kris Dohlberry
FOUNDATION OF PRAYER
Before Jesus told the disciples how to pray, he told them how NOT to pray
-Verse 7: Empty=cold, hallow, mechanical; Many-other translations say anxious
-Verse 5: Hypocrites=a performer. Someone who would perform in a way to get an applause
John 1:12-Becoming a child of God
FUNDAMENTALS OF PRAYER
HALLOWED be thy name. Hallowed=sanctify. We are calling God into action.
Your kingdom come: KINGDOM
Our daily bread: PROVISION
Forgive our debts: FORGIVENESS
Lead us: DIRECTION
Deliver us: PROTECTION
Framework for our prayers. Don’t have to say Lord’s Prayer but use it as a guide.
