What the Bible says about prayer

In praying, do not babble like the pagans, 

who think that they will be heard because of their many words.

Do not be like them.

Your Father in heaven knows what you need before you ask him.

Matthew 6:7-8

I am so glad I read this one! I don't know about you, but I often feel like my prayers make no sense.  I have many things I want to ask of God.  I don't always know where to begin, or I can't seem to find the right words.  God already knows what is in our hearts and what we need!  How AWESOME is that!!  Matthew 6:9 says The Lord's Prayer is how we are to pray.  One simple prayer is what God wants to hear; how powerful that  prayer must be.

Now I know there is no need to stress over what my prayers sound like, or if they make sense.  I know God hears what is in my heart and I am thankful for that.

The Lord's Prayer

Our Father, which art in heaven,
Hallowed be thy Name.
Thy Kingdom come.
Thy will be done in earth,
As it is in heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread.
And forgive us our trespasses,
As we forgive those who trespass against us.
And lead us not into temptation,
But deliver us from evil.
For thine is the kingdom,

The power, and the glory,

For ever and ever.

Amen.

Many Blessings,
