how should we pray

Matthew Chapter 6:5

And when thou prayest, thou shalt not be as the hypocrites are: for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and in the corners of the streets, that they may be seen of men. Verily I say unto you, They have their reward.

Matthew Chapter 6:6

But thou, when thou prayest, enter into thy closet, and when thou hast shut thy door, pray to thy Father which is in secret; and thy Father which seeth in secret shall reward thee openly.

Matthew Chapter 6:7

But when ye pray, use not vain repetitions, as the heathen do: for they think that they shall be heard for their much speaking.

Matthew Chapter 6:8

Be not ye therefore like unto them: for your Father knoweth what things ye have need of, before ye ask him.

Matthew Chapter 6:9

After this manner therefore pray ye: Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name.

Matthew Chapter 6:10

Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven.

Matthew Chapter 6:11

Give us this day our daily bread.

Matthew Chapter 6:12

And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors.

Matthew Chapter 6:13

And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil: For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever. Amen.

Matthew Chapter 6:14

For if ye forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you:

Matthew Chapter 6:15

But if ye forgive not men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses.

Luke Chapter 11:1

And it came to pass, that, as he was praying in a certain place, when he ceased, one of his disciples said unto him, Lord, teach us to pray, as John also taught his disciples.

Luke Chapter 11:3

Give us day by day our daily bread.

Luke Chapter 11:4

And forgive us our sins; for we also forgive every one that is indebted to us. And lead us not into temptation; but deliver us from evil.

Luke Chapter 11:5

And he said unto them, Which of you shall have a friend, and shall go unto him at midnight, and say unto him, Friend, lend me three loaves;

Luke Chapter 11:6

For a friend of mine in his journey is come to me, and I have nothing to set before him?

Luke Chapter 11:7

And he from within shall answer and say, Trouble me not: the door is now shut, and my children are with me in bed; I cannot rise and give thee.

Luke Chapter 11:8

I say unto you, Though he will not rise and give him, because he is his friend, yet because of his importunity he will rise and give him as many as he needeth.

Luke Chapter 11:9

And I say unto you, Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you.

Luke Chapter 11:10

For every one that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened.

Luke Chapter 11:11

If a son shall ask bread of any of you that is a father, will he give him a stone? or if he ask a fish, will he for a fish give him a serpent?

Luke Chapter 11:12

Or if he shall ask an egg, will he offer him a scorpion?

Luke Chapter 11:13

If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children: how much more shall your heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to them that ask him?

But some of them said, He casteth out devils through Beelzebub the chief of the devils.

Luke Chapter 11:16

And others, tempting him, sought of him a sign from heaven.

Luke Chapter 11:17

But he, knowing their thoughts, said unto them, Every kingdom divided against itself is brought to desolation; and a house divided against a house falleth.

Luke Chapter 11:18

If Satan also be divided against himself, how shall his kingdom stand? because ye say that I cast out devils through Beelzebub.

Luke Chapter 11:19

And if I by Beelzebub cast out devils, by whom do your sons cast them out? therefore shall they be your judges.

Luke Chapter 11:20

But if I with the finger of God cast out devils, no doubt the kingdom of God is come upon you.

Luke Chapter 11:21

When a strong man armed keepeth his palace, his goods are in peace:

Luke Chapter 11:22

But when a stronger than he shall come upon him, and overcome him, he taketh from him all his armour wherein he trusted, and divideth his spoils.

Luke Chapter 11:29

And when the people were gathered thick together, he began to say, This is an evil generation: they seek a sign; and there shall no sign be given it, but the sign of Jonas the prophet.

Luke Chapter 11:30

For as Jonas was a sign unto the Ninevites, so shall also the Son of man be to this generation.

Luke Chapter 11:31

The queen of the south shall rise up in the judgment with the men of this generation, and condemn them: for she came from the utmost parts of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon; and, behold, a greater than Solomon is here.

Luke Chapter 11:35

Take heed therefore that the light which is in thee be not darkness.

Luke Chapter 11:36

If thy whole body therefore be full of light, having no part dark, the whole shall be full of light, as when the bright shining of a candle doth give thee light.

Luke Chapter 11:39

And the Lord said unto him, Now do ye Pharisees make clean the outside of the cup and the platter; but your inward part is full of ravening and wickedness.

Luke Chapter 11:40

Ye fools, did not he that made that which is without make that which is within also?

Luke Chapter 11:41

But rather give alms of such things as ye have; and, behold, all things are clean unto you.

Luke Chapter 11:42

But woe unto you, Pharisees! for ye tithe mint and rue and all manner of herbs, and pass over judgment and the love of God: these ought ye to have done, and not to leave the other undone.

Luke Chapter 11:43

Woe unto you, Pharisees! for ye love the uppermost seats in the synagogues, and greetings in the markets.

Therefore also said the wisdom of God, I will send them prophets and apostles, and some of them they shall slay and persecute:

Luke Chapter 11:50

That the blood of all the prophets, which was shed from the foundation of the world, may be required of this generation;

Luke Chapter 11:51

From the blood of Abel unto the blood of Zacharias, which perished between the altar and the temple: verily I say unto you, It shall be required of this generation.

Luke Chapter 11:52

Woe unto you, lawyers! for ye have taken away the key of knowledge: ye entered not in yourselves, and them that were entering in ye hindered.

Luke Chapter 11:53

And as he said these things unto them, the scribes and the Pharisees began to urge him vehemently, and to provoke him to speak of many things:
