Good morning people who follow the teaching of Jesus about prayer

Recently, Father gave me a download about prayer from the Book of Matthew.

I’ve grown up in church my whole life, and I know that prayer is important. Yet as Father stepped me through this very familiar scripture, it was like I was seeing some things for the first time!

Over the coming days, I want to unpack some of what I saw.

Today, I want to leave you with the full scripture that we are going to meditate on. I encourage you to look to see what Father wants to say to you.

Matthew 6:5-13 NIV And when you pray, do not be like the hypocrites, for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and on the street corners to be seen by others. Truly I tell you, they have received their reward in full. But when you pray, go into your room, close the door and pray to your Father, Who is unseen. Then your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you. And when you pray, do not keep on babbling like pagans, for they think they will be heard because of their many words. Do not be like them, for your Father knows what you need before you ask Him. “This, then, is how you should pray: “‘Our Father in heaven, hallowed be Your name, Your kingdom come, Your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven. Give us today our daily bread. And forgive us our debts, as we also have forgiven our debtors. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from the evil one.’”

So rich!
