In this series on "How to Pray" we're using the acronym P.R.A.Y. (Pause. Rejoice. Ask. Yield), developed by Pete Greig, to help us engage with prayer in a more simple and meaningful way. This week Jeremy West will explores the 3rd part of our prayer structure "Ask" as he shares deep truths with us that will transform the manner in which we "Ask".

Teaching Text:
Matthew 6:5-13 “And when you pray, do not be like the hypocrites, for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and on the street corners to be seen by others. Truly I tell you, they have received their reward in full. 6 But when you pray, go into your room, close the door and pray to your Father, who is unseen. Then your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you. 7 And when you pray, do not keep on babbling like pagans, for they think they will be heard because of their many words. 8 Do not be like them, for your Father knows what you need before you ask him.
9 This, then, is how you should pray:
‘Our Father in heaven,
hallowed be your name,
10 your kingdom come,
your will be done,
    on earth as it is in heaven.
11 Give us today our daily bread.
12 And forgive us our debts,
    as we also have forgiven our debtors.
13 And lead us not into temptation,
    but deliver us from the evil one.’"
