Did you know that Jesus taught us a special way to pray? This prayer is called the Lord’s Prayer! Let's learn step by step how to pray as Jesus taught us — in a simple and loving way.
📘 What Is the Lord’s Prayer?
The Lord’s Prayer is a prayer taught by Jesus during the Sermon on the Mount, found in Matthew 6:9–13. Jesus showed us how to speak to God with love, respect, and trust.

✡️ Step 1: Praise and Thank God

Begin by recognizing that God is our loving, powerful, and good Father! You can say things like:

“Thank You, my God, for all You’ve given me!”
📜 Step 2: Honor God’s Name

-
“Help me live in a way that pleases You!”
🗣️ Step 3: Ask for God’s Kingdom to Come

We ask God for strength to obey, even when it’s difficult. Say:

“Teach me to follow Your path.”
🍞 Step 5: Thank and Ask for What We Need
📖 Matthew 6:11 – “Give us today our daily bread”

First, give thanks:

-
“Thank You for the small joys in my day!”
Then, ask with faith:
-
“Lord, help me with what I’m going through...”
-
“I need strength, courage, or help with [insert your request].”
❤️ Step 6: Ask for Forgiveness and Forgive

Say:

“I forgive those who hurt me. Help me love as You love.”
Also, pray for your family: parents, grandparents, great-grandparents, and past generations. And don’t forget: forgiving yourself is important too!
🛡️ Step 7: Ask for Protection
📖 Matthew 6:13 – “And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil”
