Matthew 6:5-13

5“Also, when you pray, do not be like the hypocrites; for they love to pray [publicly] standing in the synagogues and on the corners of the streets so that they may be seen by men. I assure you and most solemnly say to you, they [already] have their reward in full.

6But when you pray, go into your most private room, close the door and pray to your Father who is in secret, and your Father who sees [what is done] in secret will reward you.

7“And when you pray, do not use meaningless repetition as the Gentiles do, for they think they will be heard because of their many words.

8So do not be like them [praying as they do]; for your Father knows what you need before you ask Him.

9“Pray, then, in this way: ‘Our Father, who is in heaven, Hallowed be Your name.

10Your kingdom come, Your will be done On earth as it is in heaven.

11Give us this day our daily bread.

12And forgive us our debts, as we have forgiven our debtors [letting go of both the wrong and the resentment].

13And do not lead us into temptation, but deliver us from evil. [For Yours is the kingdom and the power and the glory forever. Amen.]’
