Jesus' Prayer Instruction

Most often, prayer should be private. You must not use vain repetitions, prayer wheels do not work, neither does the wrongful practice of counting beads on a "Rosary." Christ directs us on how and whom to pray to in: Matthew 6:5-15, "And when you pray, you shall not be as the hypocrites, for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and on the corners of the streets, in order that they may be seen by men. Truly I say to you, they have their reward. 6 But you, when you pray, enter into a private room; and after shutting the door, pray to your Father Who is in secret; and your Father Who sees in secret shall reward you openly. 7 And when you pray, do not use vain repetitions, as the heathen {Gentiles} do; for they think that by multiplying their words they shall be heard. 8 Now then, do not be like them; for your Father knows what things you have need of before you ask Him. 9 "Therefore, you are to pray after this manner: 'Our Father Who is in heaven, hallowed be Your name; 10 Your kingdom come {to earth}; Your will be done on earth, as it is in heaven; 11 Give us this day our daily bread; 12 And forgive us our debts, as we also forgive our debtors; 13 And lead us not into temptation, but rescue us from the evil one {Satan}. For Yours is the kingdom and the power and the glory forever. Amen.' 14 For if you forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you. 15 But if you do not forgive men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses.

Matthew 6:33, "As for you seek first the kingdom of God, and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you."
