Read Matthew 6: 5-15 1. The Lord’s Prayer is broken down into four sections, regarding how one should pray to God. Jesus taught the first thing is to offer praise to God. Do you begin your prayers with praise, or do you get right down to the reason for your prayer? How might your prayers begin if you began with praise? 2. The second part of Jesus’ prayer is to ask God for your needs. What are the needs you generally pray for? 3. Third, Jesus taught us to pray/ask for our forgiveness, as we have forgiven others. This is tough. What sin did another commit against you that seems unforgiveable? 4. Read John 21: 15-19. Jesus forgave Peter for denying and abandoning Jesus. I invite you to ask Jesus to help you forgive those who have hurt and abandoned you. 5. The fourth part of the Lord’s Prayer is asking God to help you not sin.
