5“And when you pray, do not be like the hypocrites, for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and on the street corners to be seen by men. I tell you the truth, they have received their reward in full.6But when you pray, go into your room, close the door and pray to your Father, who is unseen. Then your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you.Hypocritical prayer tries toshowoff for people.
7And when you pray, do not keep on babbling like pagans, for they think they will be heard because of their many words.8Do not be like them, for your Father knows what you need before you ask him.Pagan prayer tries toshowoff for God.

9“This, then, is how you should pray:“ ‘Our Father in heaven,hallowed be your name,10your kingdom come,your will be doneon earth as it is in heaven.11Give us today our daily bread.12Forgive us our debts,as we also have forgiven our debtors.13And lead us not into temptation,but deliver us from the evil one.’The Lord’sPrayer is sincere, short and simple, and sorry for sin.
14For if you forgive men when they sin against you, your heavenly Father will also forgive you.15But if you do not forgive men their sins, your Father will not forgive your sins.Unforgivingprayer tries toshowoff for ourselves.Don’t pray hypocritically prayers to show off for people, pagan prayers to show off for God, or unforgiving prayers to show off for ourselves.Instead, pray sincere, sort and simple, sorry for sin prayers that are more about God than us.
1One day Jesus was praying in a certain place. When he finished, one of his disciples said to him, “Lord, teach us to pray, just as John taught his disciples.”Jesusprobably taught the Lord’s Prayer more than once.
2He said to them, “When you pray, say:“ ‘Father,hallowed be your name,your kingdom come.3Give us each day our daily bread.4Forgive us our sins,for we also forgive everyone who sins against us.And lead us not into temptation.’”TheLord’s Prayer is short and sweet.
5Then he said to them, “Suppose one of you has a friend, and he goes to him at midnight and says, ‘Friend, lend me three loaves of bread,6because a friend of mine on a journey has come to me, and I have nothing to set before him.’7“Then the one inside answers, ‘Don’t bother me. The door is already locked, and my children are with me in bed. I can’t get up and give you anything.’8I tell you, though he will not get up and give him the bread because he is his friend, yet because of the man’s boldness he will get up and give him as much as he needs.9“So I say to you: Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you.10For everyone who asks receives; he who seeks finds; and to him who knocks, the door will be opened.We can ask God for things not following normal manners, since this is the way children ask their parents for food every day.If you can even get food from a cranky neighbor in the middle of the night, how much more will God give you what you need when you ask?
11“Which of you fathers, if your son asks for a fish, will give him a snake instead?12Or if he asks for an egg, will give him a scorpion?13If you then, though you are evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father in heaven give the Holy Spirit to those who ask him!”Wecan pray to God confidently as our heavenly Father since He is better than any earthly father.If you can expect food from your sinful earthlyfather,how much more will your prefect heavenly Father give you good things when you ask for it.
