Matthew 6:7-15

7“When you pray, don’t babble on and on as the Gentiles do. They think their prayers are answered merely by repeating their words again and again.

8Don’t be like them, for your Father knows exactly what you need even before you ask him!

9Pray like this: Our Father in heaven, may your name be kept holy.

10May your Kingdom come soon. May your will be done on earth, as it is in heaven.

11Give us today the food we need,

12and forgive us our sins, as we have forgiven those who sin against us.

13And don’t let us yield to temptation, but rescue us from the evil one.

14“If you forgive those who sin against you, your heavenly Father will forgive you.

15But if you refuse to forgive others, your Father will not forgive your sins.
