Day 1- THE LORD’S PRAYER

Read Matthew 6:9-13. Write out the Lord’s prayer today.

Day 2- PRAISE GOD

Read Matthew 6:9
When you pray, what should be the first thing you should do?

Why do you think Jesus teaches praising God first in prayer?

Do you think that praising God and thinking of how awesome He is might get your mind off yourself when you pray? If you were to pray right now, how would you praise God?

Day 3- PRAY FOR GOD’S WILL

Read Matthew 6:10
What is the next thing you should ask for in your prayers?
Why do you think asking for God’s will to happen is important?
If you want God’s will to happen, will it direct what is important to you?
Can letting go of your own will by focusing on God direct the things you should pray for?

Day 4- PRAY FOR NEEDS AND FORGIVENESS

Read Matthew 6:11-12
What type of things should you ask for? In verse 12, what should you ask God for?
Why do you think these things are important?
Jesus has already forgiven all of your sins. He did so when you believed in Him. As a believer, you will still make mistakes. It is good to confess your sin in prayer. You are not confessing to Him to gain salvation again. Think of it as saying “sorry” to your best friend. God’s forgiveness is a gift that God has given you. You have it so take the time to experience it every day. He will never stop giving it to you. He loves you. God also wants to give you what you need. Take some time today to pray for what you need. Say “sorry” for something you have done. Is there anyone you need to forgive today?

Day 5- PRAY FOR HELP

Read Matthew 6:13
What should you ask God to help you with? Why can you trust God to deliver you from evil? Why can you trust God to help you stay away from temptation?
Take some time today to pray the way Jesus taught you to pray.
