The Lord's Prayer is the prayer that Jesus taught His disciples in Matthew 6:9–13 (also found in Luke 11:2–4).
The Lord's Prayer (Matthew 6:9–13, NKJV)
Our Father in heaven,
Hallowed be Your name.
Your kingdom come.
Your will be done
On earth as it is in heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread.
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.

The Lord's Prayer is a beautiful model for prayer, showing us to begin with worship, submit to God's will, trust Him for our needs, seek forgiveness, extend forgiveness to others, ask for protection, and end by praising Him.
One of the greatest gifts Jesus gave us was the Lord's Prayer. It wasn't meant to be just words to memorize—it was given as a model for how we should pray. Each day, this prayer reminds us to worship God, seek His will, trust Him to provide for our needs, ask for forgiveness, forgive others, and depend on His protection. Max Lucado - A Simple Prayer
Praying the Lord's Prayer every day helps keep our hearts focused on God and aligned with His purpose. As we pray the words Jesus taught, we grow in faith, humility, gratitude, and trust. Whether you pray it exactly as it is written or use it as a guide for your own prayers, the Lord's Prayer is a beautiful daily pattern that draws us closer to our Heavenly Father.
