Learn to pray

Lord, teach us to pray.

Prayer is not a performance for God. It is honest speech before Him—adoration, surrender, need, confession, thanksgiving, lament, and trust.

After this manner therefore pray ye: Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name.

Matthew 6:9 · KJV

A pattern for the whole Christian life.

Jesus did not give His disciples a technique for controlling God. He gave them a way to place every part of life before God: His name, His kingdom, our needs, our sins, our relationships, our temptations, and our dependence.

Christians may pray these words together, pray them privately, or use their movement as a guide for spontaneous prayer.

01

Matthew 6:9

Begin with God

Turn attention away from performance and toward the holiness, goodness, and fatherly care of God.

02

Matthew 6:10

Surrender your will

Ask that God's kingdom and purposes—not merely your immediate wishes—shape what comes next.

03

Matthew 6:11

Ask for daily bread

Bring ordinary needs honestly: work, health, family, courage, provision, and wisdom for today.

04

Matthew 6:12

Confess and forgive

Name what is wrong without hiding. Receive mercy, and ask for strength to release vengeance without abandoning truth or wise boundaries.

05

Matthew 6:13

Ask for protection

Pray for guidance away from temptation, deception, bitterness, and the harm we may do or receive.

When you do not know what to say.

  1. Be still. Take one minute to become quiet before God.
  2. Give thanks. Name one mercy you received today.
  3. Tell the truth. Speak plainly about what weighs on you.
  4. Ask. Request wisdom, courage, forgiveness, or help.
  5. Listen and act. End by asking what faithful next step is already clear.

Use the conversation to return to God—not to avoid Him.

The app can help you put a question into words, recall a teaching of Jesus, or prepare a prayer. It cannot hear prayer as God hears it, grant forgiveness, reveal God's private will, or promise an answer.

A healthy session should make room for Scripture, prayer, wise human counsel, and faithful action after the phone is put down.
