Kingdom Prayers

When people first put their faith in Jesus, they usually don’t know how to pray. Sometimes listening to others can add to their confusion. For example, they hear someone waxing eloquently on and on in a deep voice that’s different from their normal voice, and another person ecstatically uttering unintelligible words with no grammar, syntax, or vocabulary, and still another reading a prayer from a piece of paper. They wonder, “God, how you want me to pray?” The good news for everyone is that Jesus has commanded us to pray a certain way and it is recorded in Matthew 6. It has four answers to the question, “How does God want us to pray?”
