Matthew 6:9-13 This is by far the greatest prayer of all. Why? Because Jesus taught it and because it has everything that you need to pray for. Because it's the kind of a prayer you need to pray when you talking to God the Father. verses 6-8

Allow me to break it down for you. [9 Our Father Who is in heaven, hallowed (kept holy) be Your name.] You call God as the father, you place yourself in a submissive position. You claiming your rightful place as a heir of heaven (Ephesians2:6) that way you get His attention. Tell me of a father that won't pay attention to his child when the child shouts "Daddy"? You praise Him telling Him that His name is holy. You make Him melt with love. Tell me of any man that will not be happy and melt if he's being praised by his clan names. Why would God be sad if you as His child praising Him.

[10 Your kingdom come, Your will be done on earth as it is in heaven]. You invite His kingdom, you invite the whole Heavens into world, you invite His presence into your world. You pray for His will to happen in your life, in your world. You give Him authority over your entire life. You asking Him to take over everything and rule everything in your life as much as He rules over everything in heaven.

[11 Give us this day our daily bread.] You pray that God be the provider in your life, you pray that He sees to your needs.

[12 And forgive us our debts, as we also have forgiven (left, remitted, and let go of the debts, and have given up resentment against) our debtors]. You pray for forgiveness, because we sin everyday and need to be forgiven for our sins. Sins we do knowingly, sins we do not by purpose. You also commit yourself that you have forgiven, because for you to be forgiven, you also need to forgive.

[13 And lead (bring) us not into temptation, but deliver us from the evil one. For Yours is the kingdom and the power and the glory forever.] You pray for protection that God must protect you from temptations, you pray for deliverance from any bondage of sin, you pray for deliverance from demonic spirits, from sickness and attacks from the devil. You pray for all of these to Him because this is His Kingdom He rules over it with His power and Glory forever and ever. Amen.

We have prayed all sorts of prayers and have taken this one for granted, but this Is the greatest prayer that we need to pray everyday. Jesus gave it for a reason. Let us not forget it after we have prayed all types of prayers, and pray this one. God bless you.
