(Matthew 6:5-18) "And when you pray, do not be like the hypocrites. For they love to pray standing in the synagogues and on the street corners to be seen by men. Truly I tell you, they already have their full reward. But when you pray, go into your room and shut the door and pray to your Father who is in secret. And your Father who sees in secret will reward you. And when you pray, do not babble on like pagans, for they think that by their many words they will be heard. Do not be like them, for your Father knows what you need before you ask Him...”
In this series, we're delving deeper into the teachings that Jesus left us to follow. The ninth commandment leads us to our next focus: PRAYER AND FASTING ...
There's much to take in here, so let's first take a look at PRAYER. The above Scripture went on to give us what most of us know to be "The Lord's Prayer." So, let's break it down ...
In its simplicity, the Lord's Prayer is a profound blueprint for Divine connection. Jesus offers it not just as words, but as a pathway to align our hearts with GOD's Holiness and Kingdom. It begins with reverence, urging us to seek alignment with GOD's perfect will. Spoken from the heart, this prayer underscores our complete dependence on GOD—not only for our daily needs but as a strong fortress against life's challenges. It teaches us to seek forgiveness and extend grace, mirroring the compassion we desire from GOD. Furthermore, it acknowledges the reality of spiritual warfare and calls us to seek protection, both from temptation and deliverance from evil.
This prayer isn't just a formula; it's a transformative framework that shapes our spiritual journey, fostering humility, surrender, and a deeper relationship with GOD.

Let us pray the prayer our Lord taught us, "Our Father in Heaven, may Your name be honoured. Let Your kingdom come, and Your will be done on earth as it is in Heaven. Provide us with what we need each day. Forgive us for our wrongs, as we forgive those who wrong us. Help us avoid temptation, and protect us from evil." Amen!
