How to pray (part 2)

After Matthew 6:9-15 

First, the focus:

to whom, for whom,

about whom. Then:

the needs to be 

expressed, including

basic stuff (like

bread). Then:

acknowledgement

of the debts we owe

to others, thinking

debts in the broadest

sense. Then: avoidance

of temptation and

deliverance from evil.

Simply, short, direct.

But to punch home

the point, he emphasizes

forgiveness, that if you

want to be forgiven,

the lead the way,

be the example, just 

do it, yourself.
