“After this manner therefore pray ye: Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done in earth, as it is in 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 evil: For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever. Amen.” Matthew 6:9-13 KJV

Hallowed means completely set apart

Start with recognizing God as our father and wha that means.

1 John 1:9 But if we confess our sins to him, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and cleanse us from all wickedness.

5. Receive blessing to be a blessing

6. Supplication-Beg

Present your physical needs expect provision spiritually.

7. Protection

Psalms 27: 1-3 The Lord is my fortress, protecting me form danger so why should I tremble? When evil people come to devour me, they will stumble and fall. Though a mighty army surrounds me, my heat will not be afraid. Even if I am attacked I will remain confident.
