Matthew 6:14 – For if you forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you.

Jesus had been teaching His disciples that we do good deeds to please God, not to be seen and praised my man… He was teaching them how to pray… not standing in the streets or in the synagogues to be seen by others… But to go into our secret place and pray and fellowship with God… He sees us in our secret place and He will reward us openly… 

So then when we pray, we first praise and worship Him… We ask Him for His will to be done in our lives just as it is in heaven… We ask and thank God for meeting our daily needs… We ask the Lord to forgive us for things we have done wrong and to help us to be quick to forgive others… 

Thank Him for keeping us from temptation and from the traps of the enemy… For His is the kingdom and the power and the glory forever! And He has created you to be an Unexpected Warrior!
