The Model Prayer

Episode 702

Angus Buchan

Matthew 6:5-13
“And when you pray, you shall not be like the hypocrites. For they love to pray standing in the synagogues and on the corners of the streets, that they may be seen by men. Assuredly, I say to you, they have their reward. But you, when you pray, go into your room, and when you have shut your door, pray to your Father who is in the secret place; and your Father who sees in secret will reward you openly. And when you pray, do not use vain repetitions as the heathen do. For they think that they will be heard for their many words.
Therefore do not be like them. For your Father knows the things you have need of before you ask Him. In this manner, therefore, pray:
Our Father in heaven,
Hallowed be Your name.
Your kingdom come.
Your will be done
On earth as it is in heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread.
And forgive us our debts,
As we forgive our debtors.
And do not lead us into temptation,
But deliver us from the evil one.
For Yours is the kingdom and the power and the glory forever. Amen."

Holy Character

1 Peter 3:3

1 Peter 3:3. God tells us not to let our adornment to be merely outward but to spend more time on our inward appearance than our outward appearance. The beauty that the Lord is speaking about is from the inside, from a person who is selfless, and cares more about others, who has the Lord's peace in their hearts.

Forgiveness

Matthew 18:21–22

We have to forgive others no matter what, so that God can forgive us for our sins, and so that we ourselves can move on with our lives. Some of us even need to forgive God for something we fee that He has done for us. Unforgiveness will eat away at us. Matthew 18:21-22.

Guard your mind

2 Corinthians 10:4–5

2 Corinthians 10:4-5. Our battle in this world is in our minds, not our hearts. When we put on the armour of God, we put on the helmet of Salvation to guard our minds. Let's watch over and be sure to guard our minds and make sure we are speaking life.
