The disciples were aware that when Jesus prayed, things happened. He was tapping into the power of His Heavenly Father and then releasing that on earth. So one day they asked Him, "Lord, teach us to pray" (Matt. 6:8). Jesus responded with the guidance stated below, which we have laid out as a pattern which you can pray, and journal your responses to each section of the Lord's prayer.
Pray, then, in this way…
The pattern given by Jesus in Matthew 6:9-13 |
