The Model Prayer

"And when you pray , you shall not
be like the hypocrites. For they love to
pray standing in the synagogues and on
the corners of the streets, that they may
be seen by men. Assuredly, I say to you, 
they have their reward.
"But you, when you pray , go into
your room, and when you have shut
your door, pray to your Father who is in
the secret place; and your Father who 
sees in secret will reward you openly.
"But when you pray, do not use vain
repetitions as the heathen do. For they
think that they will be heard for their
many words.
" Therefore do not be like them. For
your Father knows the things you have
need or before you ask Him.
"In this manner, therefore, 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 this day our daily bread.
And forgive us our debts,
As we forgive our debtors.
And do not lead us into temptation,
But deliver us from the evil one.
For Yours is the kingdom and the
power and the glory forever.
Amen.
"For if you forgive men their trespasses,
your heavenly Father will also
forgive you.
"But if you do not forgive men their
trespasses, neither will your Father forgive
your trespasses.
