Teach us to pray!

As followers of Jesus we all need to pray, prayer is the key way to communicate with our heavenly Father. If we don’t spend time talking to him, we can never expect to understand what he is saying to us. If we don’t talk to our friends and family we don’t know what is happening with them, we grow distant and begin to enjoy different things. It’s the same with God we need to spend time with him to understand what he is saying to us and to discover his will for our lives. Sometimes it is hard to pray, we don’t know what to say, we find ourselves coming before God and wondering how to pray. In the New Testament the disciples asked Jesus how to pray and he gave them a pattern for prayer, The Lord’s prayer: Remember the creator of this amazing world wants to be in relationship with you, so much, that he has left us a pattern to follow when we talk to him.

The Lord's Prayer

Our Father, which art in heaven,
Hallowed be thy Name.
Thy Kingdom come.
Thy will be done in earth,
As it is in heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread.
And forgive us our trespasses,
As we forgive them that trespass against us.
And lead us not into temptation,
But deliver us from evil.
For thine is the kingdom,
The power, and the glory,
For ever and ever.
Amen.

Try is,use it allow God through the Holy Spirit to speak through it, into your life today!
