The Lord's Prayer as a Model

In Matthew 6:9-13, Jesus taught His disciples how to pray through the Lord's Prayer. This model prayer includes worship ("hallowed be your name"), surrender ("your will be done"), daily dependence ("give us today our daily bread"), confession ("forgive us our debts"), and spiritual protection ("deliver us from evil"). Using this structure helps us pray comprehensively and align our hearts with God's priorities.
