Matthew

Luke

Luke 11:1 (KJV) And it came to pass, that, as he was praying in a certain place, when he ceased, one of his disciples said unto him, Lord, teach us to pray, as John also taught his disciples.

1. Opening: Directed to Father in heaven (a child to a father)

2. A showing of respect (acknowledging God is holy, “hallowed be they name”)

3. A citizen in the kingdom of God, “Thy kingdom”

4. A request for God’s will to be done (on earth as it is in heaven)

Matthew 6:9 (KJV) After this manner therefore pray ye: Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name.

Matthew 6:10 (KJV) Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven.

Luke 11:2 (KJV) And he said unto them, When ye pray, say, Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done, as in heaven, so in earth.

4. Provide our needs (give us… our daily bread, God is able, we are not)

Matthew 6:11 (KJV) Give us this day our daily bread.

Luke 11:3 (KJV) Give us day by day our daily bread.

5. Forgiveness (as we forgive) we should grant forgiveness to others as God grants forgiveness to us.

Matthew 6:12 (KJV) And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors.

Luke 11:4 (KJV) And forgive us our sins; for we also forgive every one that is indebted to us.

Luke 17:3 (KJV) Take heed to yourselves: If thy brother trespass against thee, rebuke him; and if he repent, forgive him.

Luke 17:4 (KJV) And if he trespass against thee seven times in a day, and seven times in a day turn again to thee, saying, I repent; thou shalt forgive him.

6. Lead us not into temptation (a desire to abstain, overcome temptation)

7. Deliver us from evil (victory from our own failures and others attacks)

8. Closing: God is the King, Powerful, Glorious (a citizens allegiance to his king)

Matthew 6:13 (KJV) And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil: For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever. Amen.

And lead us not into temptation; but deliver us from evil.

Matthew 6:14 (KJV) For if ye forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you:

Matthew 6:15 (KJV) But if ye forgive not men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses.

The First Prayer

It was a lonely prayer (withdrawn… a stones cast).

It was a humble prayer (he fell on his face / fell on the ground, kneeled down).

It was a filial prayer (from child to parent “Abba, Father”).

It was an earnest prayer (he prayed earnestly).

It was an answered prayer (an angel appeared unto him… strengthening him).
