Follow the Model

In response to Luke 11:1 “Lord teach us to pray” comes Matthew 6:9-13 is a model and guide for our own prayer life. It is a prayer to show us:

God’s Glory – What do the words “hallowed”, “your kingdom come”, and “Thy will” mean to you? 

For Our Good – We see God's Provision (11), Pardon (12), and Protection (13)

The foundation for all true prayer comes from the first two words: “Our Father” without Him you cannot have an effective prayer life. You must be born again!

No wonder His children are invited to come before Him with confidence – Hebrews 4:16,  Let us then approach God’s throne of grace with confidence, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help us in our time of need.


Today follow Jesus' model prayer. He did say to do it, In this manner pray.. – Matthew 6:5 

Spend time praying like Jesus did - today and everyday!
