Matthew 6:9-13 (New International Version)
9"This, then, is how you should pray: " 'Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your name, 10your kingdom come, your will be done on earth as it is in heaven. 11Give us today our daily bread. 12Forgive us our debts, as we also have forgiven our debtors. 13And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from the evil one.' "
When is the last time you talked or texted your best friend? How about God, when is the last time you talked to God? Prayer has been described as "talking to God", but how do you start a conversation with the almighty? Jesus' disciples asked the same question and this is the prayer he taught them to pray. There are many parts to the prayer: adoration of God, humility before God, seeking God's will, forgiveness & confession, guidance or delivery, etc. Basically, we need to talk to God as we do our closest friends and family; let Him know what you are thinking and what you desire. God wants to hear from you and the greatest part about prayer is that God is always online and you don't have to wait to get a clear signal.
