Praying mat 6:9-13

When we pray, we should acknowledge who God is, acknowledge where His throne is, acknowledge His power and strength, acknowledge His coming Kingdom, ask for forgiveness of sins, ask for deliverance from temptation and evil and declare He will reign forever. We should use this as template for our daily prayer.

Mat 6:9-13 "Pray, then, in this way: `Our Father Who is in heaven (so tender and strong), sacred and holy is Your name. 

`Your powerful kingdom is coming. Your will and desire be done, On this earth as it is done in heaven. 

`Give us each day exactly what we need. 

`And forgive us of our mess ups and wrong doings, as we also have forgiven those who have wronged us. 

`And keep us far away from temptation and enticement and deliver us and protect us from evil. [For You are the mighty King that reigns with all the power and the glory forever ever. Amen.'] (OutCast Version)

Prayer: 

`My Father Who is in heaven (so tender and strong), sacred and holy is Your name.

`And forgive me of my mess ups and wrong doings, as I also have forgiven those who have wronged me. 

`And keep me far away from temptation and enticement and deliver me and protect me from evil. [For You are the mighty King that reigns with all the power and the glory forever ever. Amen.']
