How to Pray
5 And when thou prayest, thou shalt not be as the hypocrites are: for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and in the corners of the streets, that they may be seen of men. Verily I say unto you, They have their reward.
6 But thou, when thou prayest, enter into thy closet, and when thou hast shut thy door, pray to thy Father which is in secret; and thy Father which seeth in secret shall reward thee openly.
7 But when ye pray, use not vain repetitions, as the heathen do: for they think that they shall be heard for their much speaking.
8 Be not ye therefore like unto them: for your Father knoweth what things ye have need of, before ye ask him. Matthew 6:5-8
Pray to the Father in secret.
The Lord's Prayer
9 After this manner therefore pray ye: Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name.
10 Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven.
11 Give us this day our daily bread.
12 And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors.
13 And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil: For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever. Amen. Matthew 6:9-13
Pray in this manner. ~ Jesus
The Vine and the Branches
Father God, boldly and humbly we come before your throne of grace, we seek your face in everything we say and do. For we know that you are the the Vine and we are the branches and apart from you, we can do nothing. We lift our hearts and hands in praise for you are worthy to be praised. We praise you for your excellent greatness and infinite wisdom for in them we trust as we lay our burdens at your feet. Lord, we pray that you will order our steps, direct our paths and seal in our hearts our instructions for the day. Keep us throughout the day. Let us not toil and struggle as we gather our provision for the day but let us continually rest in you and reside in your presence for we know in your presence is the fullness of joy. Amen
Apart from Him, I can do nothing.
