HOW
TO PRAY like THIS according to
Matthew
6: 9 - 13
So
like this you pray
father
ours who in the heavens (is)
make
holy the name you
let
come the realm of you
let
become the will of you
as
in the heaven and (also) upon earth
the
bread for us necessary for this day give to us this day
and
let go release us the debts of us
as
and we release the debts of those who owe us
and
not lead us into testing
but
deliver us away from evil /wretchedness/being in a bad condition /
place.
Note
again the AORIST IMPERATIVES a verb form we don't have in ENGLISH!
We
are not merely wishing or approving but asking that God's name be
made holy,
that
the realm of god comes, let the divine will happen,
that
we have our daily essential needs, NOT luxuries,
and
that if we want our debt of sin forgiven we likewise must forgive
others.
This
is further emphasized by verse 14.
The
word used for sin is literally a falling or flying away!
Sin
separates us from the Divine. Forgiveness is an action.
But
not just our sins others too.
We
must be concerned about others not just ourselves.
Don't
bargain with God, pray for what is right and good to happen?
A
short note on formatting. Since I don't know if you're reading this
on a desktop monitor, a laptop, a PC Windows tablet, an Ipad or
mobile. I sometimes move long clauses and sentences onto new lines. I
hope that helps if you have a small screen?
There are things that help apart from prayer.
