“Teach us to pray,” they asked.
Jesus answered, short and simple:
Matthew 6:9-13 (NIV)
Our Father in heaven,
hallowed be your name,
your kingdom come,
your will be done,
on earth as it is in heaven.
Give us today our daily bread.
And forgive us our debts,
as we also have forgiven our debtors.
And lead us not into temptation,
but deliver us from the evil one.
Ten lines, just over 50 words. 2000 years later, these simple words still teach us to pray.
