Prayer

Prayer is a private matter, not something to show off about.

When you pray you should go into a room on your own and the prayer should just be between you and God.

Don’t use meaningless words – long prayers do not impress God.

The Lord’s Prayer

This is seen as a model for all Christian prayers.

It contains many different types of prayer, of praise to God, of asking for forgiveness, and so on.

It is the prayer Jesus gave us so is special to Christians.

It contains many key Christian beliefs – such as God as our Father (caring for us), God provides for our needs, we can turn to God for forgiveness.

All this is just as relevant as it was in Jesus’ time
