Matthew 6:7-15

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.]’

14For if you forgive others their trespasses [their reckless and willful sins], your heavenly Father will also forgive you.

15But if you do not forgive others [nurturing your hurt and anger with the result that it interferes with your relationship with God], then your Father will not forgive your trespasses.
