Matthew:6:5-13
Seeker Overlay ON
* "
And when you pray ,
you must not be like the hypocrites ;
for they love to stand and pray in the synagogues and at the street corners ,
that they may be seen by men .
Truly ,
I say to you ,
they have received their reward .
*
But when you pray ,
go into your room and shut the door and pray to your Father who is in secret ;
and your Father who sees in secret will reward you .
* "
And in praying do not heap up empty phrases as the Gentiles do ;
for they think that they will be heard for their many words .
*
Do not be like them ,
for your Father knows what you need before you ask him .
*
Pray then like this :
Our Father who art in heaven ,
Hallowed be thy name .
*
Thy kingdom come .
Thy will be done ,
On earth as it is in heaven .
*
Give us this day our daily bread ;
*
And forgive us our debts ,
As we also have forgiven our debtors ;
*
And lead us not into temptation ,
But deliver us from evil .
