Jesus Christ taught His disciples how to pray and the conducts and character that should be put up by them when praying. He told them not to pray hypocritical prayers like the scribes and Pharisees who always pray to gain man’s recognition.
THE LORD’S PRAYER
Jesus taught His disciples to pray like this according to the book of Matt 6;7-13
“Our father which art in heaven, hallowed be Thy name, Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done on earth, as it is in heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread, and forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors. 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.
The Lord’s prayer is a prayer Jesus himself taught Hid disciples. In doing this, Jesus also encouraged Christians to pray because prayer is the sustaining power of a Christian.
