Have you ever been in a big circle of people, and they are going around the circle asking everyone to pray out loud? It can be so nerve-racking as some people use big, elaborate words seeming to know exactly what to say. How exactly do we pray, and just as important, how should we NOT pray? Jesus gives us the perfect answer and prayer in Matthew 6. Prayer must be meaningful, intimate, and focused on our relationship with our Heavenly Father.
