The Model Prayer

God gives us the model prayer in Matthew 6: 9-13. In breaking it down I see a few good points:
1. We know to whom we speak and are giving God our adoration. 
2. We are asking for God's will.
3. We are expressing our needs.
4. We are asking for forgiveness.
5. We are asking that we do not fall under the influence of Satan's ways
6. We are acknowledging that God has power over all things. 

"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, forever. Amen"
