Read Matthew 6:5-15
Prayer: a conversation between you and your Heavenly Father. Where is your holy place of prayer? Do you have a holy place where you get alone to meet with God? What makes it Holy? If you do not have a place, consider creating a sacred space at home or at work where you can get uninterrupted time alone with Father.
Our attitude and words when we pray are to demonstrate our child to parent relationship with God. Listen to requests in the model prayer for Jesus as verbs only:
Give
Forgive
Don’t bring us temptation
Deliver/rescue
These tell of a posture of dependence. We do not tell God how great or deserving we are. We do not impress him with fancy words. We are to ask. And trust.
