Lk 11:1 one day Jesus was praying in a certain place. When he finished, one of his disciples said to him, "Lord, teach us to pray, just as John taught his disciples."
But traditions the prayer Jesus taught is called the lord’s prayer. To understand the heart of prayer better consider reading in the gospel of John chapter 17 where we have a prayer of Jesus recorded.
Lords prayer from Matt 6:9
'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.
Forgive us our debts, as we also have forgiven our debtors
and lead us not into temptation,
but deliver us from the evil one.'
I think this has become too familiar and not as the Lord intended. Many years ago I came across this version of the “Fathers Prayer” that comes closer touching the Father's Heart.
'Heavenly Father your name I say
help me do things your way today.
All I have I got from you.
Please forget any wrong I might do.
Help me love those who do me wrong.
Keep me safe all day long.
Protect me from any harm.
Your the best DAD anyone could have.'
