If you struggle to come up with prayers on your own, Jesus gave us a great framework in the book of Matthew! In the Sermon on the Mount, Jesus taught his followers how to pray with the Lord’s Prayer. It’s not a dictation, but a model. It shows us a way to pray that demonstrates reverence, dependence, and a desire to follow God’s will.
This prayer provides a balanced and sincere template for our own prayer lives, focusing on honoring God, seeking his kingdom, and depending on him for daily needs and forgiveness. By using the Lord’s Prayer as a guide, we can develop a deeper, more meaningful prayer life.
