Matthew 6:7 “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.
[14] For if you forgive others their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you, [15] but if you do not forgive others their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses.
 
Jesus provided a prayer to be prayed on its own and as pattern for other prayers we pray.
What do the opening words teach us about God?
•   “Our Father”
•   “In Heaven”
How does this understanding help us to pray?
•   Pray with confidence
•   Pray with affection
•   Pray with reverence
•   Pray with and for others
