others.

And when you pray, you shall not be like the hypocrites. For they love to pray in the
synagogues and on the corners of the streets, that they may be seen by men. Assuredly, I
say to you, they have their reward. But you, when you pray, go into your room, and when
you have shut your door, pray to your Father who is in the secret place; and your Father
who sees in secret will reward you openly. And when you pray, do not use vain repetitions
as the heathen do. For they think that they will be heard for their many words. Therefore,
do not be like them. For your Father knows the things you have need of before you ask Him.
In this manner, therefore pray: Our Father in heaven, hallowed be Your name, Your
kingdom come, Your will be done on earth as it is heaven. Give us this day our daily bread.
And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors. And lead us not into temptation, but
deliver us from the evil one. For Yours is the kingdom and the power and the glory forever.
Amen. (Matthew 6:5-14)
