How to pray this card

Who said it
Jesus, teaching his disciples
Context
In the Sermon on the Mount, Jesus warns against praying to be seen and heaping up empty phrases, for “your Father knows what you need before you ask him” (Matthew 6:5-⁠8). Then he gives this pattern: God’s name, kingdom and will come first.
  1. Read how Jesus prayed, slowly, and notice what they asked God for.
  2. Pray their words again for the person you have in mind, by name.
  3. Read the verses that name Jesus, further down this page.

Close in Jesus' name, and say Amen.
