Matthew 6:9-13

"This, then, is how you should pray:
" 'Our Father in heaven,
hallowed be your name,
your kingdom come,
your will be done
on earth as it is in heaven.
Give us today our daily bread.
Forgive us our debts,
as we also have forgiven our debtors.
And lead us not into temptation,
but deliver us from the evil one.'

The Lord's prayer can be found in Matthew 6: 9-13 and Luke 11: 2-4

Matthew 6: 9-13 & Luke 11: 1-4
However, it was never meant to be memorized and repeated verbatim. It was an example of the things which it is proper to pray for, and if you will notice, the very first thing which Jesus sited as most important, is the honoring of God's name. That is why it is vital to know his name, Jehovah. It is hard to give honor to a name that you don't kn ow or use. Next he said to pray for God's kingdom to come. That kingdom will make right all that has been done wrong, as we see it then says...
"Let your (God's) will take place, as in heaven, also upon earth". Do you see many people really doing God's will?
They pray this prayer, but never get the understanding of its meaning...then it says we can pray for our needs to be met. It also mentions the importance of asking forgiveness based on the ransom sacrifice of Jesus shed blood...but in order for our prayers to be answered and forgiveness to be granted to us, we first have to make sure that we are not holding anything against anyone else...We should see this prayer as an example, but our prayers should come from our hearts and in our own words, noting the things which Jesus pointed out and the importance of them by the order that he gave them to us.

Matthew 6:9-13. Saying a memorized prayer like the Lord's Prayer isn't wrong, as long as we don't lose sight of its meaning. But yes—there is more to praying than this, and I hope you will learn what it means to pray more freely.

Have you ever stopped to think what prayer really is? Prayer is simply talking with God—and God wants us to talk with Him. You see, God is our Heavenly Father, and when we give our lives to Jesus Christ, we are adopted into His family and become His children forever. The Bible says, "To all who received him, to those who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God" (John 1:12). Have you received Christ into your heart? If not, turn to Him and ask Him to come into your life.

What does this have to do with prayer? Simply this: Think back to your own childhood for a moment. When you were young, did you talk with your father in a series of carefully memorized sentences? No, of course not. You talked with him freely and openly about everything—and he delighted in that.

The same is true with God, your Heavenly Father. He delights in the prayers of His people! Don't worry whether you're eloquent enough; your father didn't turn you away when you spoke baby talk—and neither does God. The Bible says, "Let us then approach the throne of grace with confidence, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help us in our time of need" (Hebrews 4:16).

You are probably referring to the prayer in Matthew 6 and Luke 11. This is more acurately called the "model prayer".

It begins "Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name...."

There is another prayer that is more accurately called "the Lord's prayer". This is the prayer Jesus said just before he was taken away to be crucified. It is recorded in John 17.

Jesus earnestly prayed for his followers. He prayed for their unity. Please take a few moments and read it!

Also, just before he was taken away, he prayed that if there was another way, that the Father would spare him, but in the end, Jesus was willing to follow the Father's will. (Matthew 26:39)

Although Jesus prayed often, this is one of the few where we are told what he said during those prayers.

Two versions of it occur in the New Testament, one in the Gospel of Matthew as part of the discourse on ostentation, a section of the Sermon on the Mount, and the other in the Gospel of Luke.
But the two 'references' are:
Matthew 6:9-13 and Luke 11:1-4

They both start with 'Our Father'.

Matthew 6:9

our father prayer:
Our father which art in heaven hollowed be thine 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 forever.
Amen
First Jesus was telling us how to pray so he was talking.
So who is the father? And what is his name?
He said, "Our father" so it is his father to.
When Jesus sets up his rulership over the earth his will
will be done on earth as it is in heaven.
