This, then, is how you should pray. The priests commonly did the praying. Luke says: "One time Jesus was praying in a certain place. When he finished, one of his disciples said to him, Lord, teach us to pray, just as John taught his disciples.'" What Jesus gives next is not a "set form," but an example. Our Father in heaven. This shows the close relationship between God and the true worshiper. We pray as a child speaks to the Father. May your holy name be honored. This, and the two phrases which follow, praise God and honor his purpose. Only one who truly loves God can pray these three phrases.
