"And when you pray, you shall not be like the
hypocrites. For they love to pray standing in the synagogues and on the
corners of the streets, that they may be seen by men. Assuredly, I say
to you, they have their reward. But you, when you pray, go into your
room, and when you have shut your door, pray to your Father who is
in the secret place; and your Father who sees in secret will
reward you openly.
And when you pray, do not use vain repetitions as the heathen do.
For they think that they will be heard for their many words.
"Therefore do not be like them. For your Father knows the things you
have need of before you ask Him. In this manner, therefore, pray:
Our Father in heaven,
Hallowed be Your name.
Your kingdom come.
Your will be done
On earth as it is in heaven.
And forgive us our debts,
As we forgive our debtors.
And do not lead us into temptation,
But deliver us from the evil one.
For Yours is the kingdom and the power and the glory forever.
Amen."
—Matthew 6:5-13 (NKJV)
