One day, Jesus was with his friends and one of them asked, “Lord, how should we pray?” So Jesus began to pray. “Father, may your name be kept holy and your kingdom come.” Jesus started his prayer by praising God! “Please give us the food we need for each day.” The second thing Jesus prayed for was something he needed — food! Jesus continued to pray. “Forgive us for the things we have done wrong, and help us forgive people who have done something wrong to us.” The third thing Jesus prayed for was forgiveness. When we do something wrong, we should tell God, “I’m sorry.” Jesus finished his prayer by saying, “Help us to always obey everything that you say.” The last thing Jesus prayed for was the courage to obey God and say “No!” to sin. And Jesus said, “That is how you should pray!”
What is one thing you can praise God for? What is one thing you need that you can ask God for?What is one thing that you need to ask God for forgiveness for?
