The Our Father prayer is the prayer that Jesus taught his disciples while he was physically with them. He encouraged them to pray sincerely and simply, without hypocrisy or unnecessary words.
Jesus left that prayer as an example or model of prayer and we can use it as a reference to build our own prayers to the heavenly Father. The biblical text is found in two of the gospels: Matthew 6:9-13 and Luke 11:2-4.
You should pray like this:
“Our Father who art in heaven,
Hallowed be thy name,
your kingdom come,
Thy 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,
for yours are the kingdom and the power and the glory forever.
Amen”.
(Matthew 6:9-13, New International Version)
