Jesus instructs His Disciples on Prayer:

So far we have looked at directing our prayers to God the Father...recognizing how His name is hallowed and holy and how we should focus on His kingdom and His will.  In light of this, let's look at the things that we should pray for.

Let's continue looking at Jesus' instructions in Matthew chapter 6:

'Give us this day our daily bread. 12 'And forgive us our debts, as we also have forgiven our debtors. 13 'And do not lead us into temptation, but deliver us from evil. For Thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, forever. Amen.' 14 "For if you forgive men for their transgressions, your heavenly Father will also forgive you. 15 "But if you do not forgive men, then your Father will not forgive your transgressions. Matthew 6:11-15 (NAS)

Question:

According to Matthew 6:11, when we pray to God our Father...we should not ask Him to do what?

  2. Forgive us for our debts against Him as we have forgiven our debtors.
  3. Lead us not into temptation.
  4. Deliver us from evil.
  5. Forgive us of all our debts, even when we do not forgive others.

1. 2. 3. 4. 5.
