The “Model Prayer” of Matthew 6 (for us)

1. Address the Father

2. Honor His name

3. Pray for the kingdom (the kingdom/church has come, but we can pray for it to spread, pray for the members, congregations, etc.) 

4. Pray for God’s will to be done

5. Pray for daily necessities (“daily bread”)

6. Pray for forgiveness

7. Pray for deliverance from the evil one

8. Acknowledge God’s sovereignty and glory

9. Today we pray in Jesus’ name (John 16:23-24)

10. Say, “Amen”       

Note: Jesus gave us an example of prayer, not to be quoted verbatim.
