Hey, will you pray for me? Hey can we pray real quick? Prayer is not a last-ditch effort. It is the most important thing to do. Prayer is not easy.

Matthew 6:9-13
9 Pray then like this:
“Our Father in heaven,
hallowed be your name.
10 Your kingdom come,
your will be done,
    on earth as it is in heaven.
11 Give us this day our daily bread,
12 and forgive us our debts,
    as we also have forgiven our debtors.
13 And lead us not into temptation,
    but deliver us from evil.

This prayer is not to be just repeated. It is illustrative.

Where to Begin With Prayer

Power in the order
