Prayer.

Out of all the instructions that Jesus gave, this is perhaps one of the most important.

The model prayer that Jesus taught us appears in Matthew 6, and this weeks passage introduces that entire section. You can find it at Matthew 6:5-6.

Before Jesus gives us a model prayer, he gives us a couple of examples of what not to do.

One of those we see this week; next week we look at another.

Jesus viewed prayer as a crucial part of his life and ministry. And it seems as if he views it as important for us as well.

What do you do to maintain humility in prayer? Let me know in the comments.
