But you, when you pray, go into your inner room, close your door and pray to your Father who is in secret, and your Father who sees what is done in secret will reward you. “And when you are praying, do not use meaningless repetition as the Gentiles do, for they suppose that they will be heard for their many words. So do not be like them; for your Father knows what you need before you ask Him. (Matthew 6:5-8 NASB)

‘Our Father who is in heaven, Hallowed be Your name, your will be done, On earth as it is in heaven. (Matthew 6:9-10 NASB)

Whenever you stand praying, forgive, if you have anything against anyone, so that your Father who is in heaven will also forgive you your transgressions. [But if you do not forgive, neither will your Father who is in heaven forgive your transgressions.”] (Mark 11:25-26 NASB).

Pray that your faith is strengthened and that as you seek God for help to be more like His Beloved Son Jesus with being able to deny self, take up your cross daily and follow Him (Hebrews 11:6, Luke 9:23 NASB), also pray that, first of all, supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giving of thanks, be made for all men; For kings, and for all that are in authority; that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and honesty.
