Prayer is personal communication between God and man. Being such a significant and important part of the Christian life, Jesus taught His followers how to pray by giving them a pattern.
In that pattern there are six requests to be made with passion and urgency. Prayer to God must never become casual or made with complacency. He must always be approached on the basis of what He has already revealed. The first three petitions centered on God, His honor, and for His will to be done. The last three discussed in this message express our dependence on Him and request Him to supply our basic needs for the day. In so asking, we are acknowledging our understanding that He is the source of all we need and has control over all things. Jesus also taught that we are to ask of God for ongoing provision for our spiritual needs like cleansing and forgiveness. Lastly we must pray concerning the issues of testing's - trials and temptations that come along the course of daily life.
