In Matthew 6:9-13 the disciples asked Jesus how to pray. What Jesus responds with is now known as the Lordss prayer.
You can break down the prayer into seven sections which highlight important elements for any prayer. The first section is, Our Father in heaven. Our reminds us that as a Christ follower you are not in this alone, you belong to a community of believers. Father reminds us that we can be in close relationship to God, He is not some distant mystical being. In heaven reminds us that although God is close, He is still so powerful that he controls the vastness of the earth and the universe. Spend a moment reading the verses today. When I was growing up, we said this prayer every Sunday morning as part of worship. Hopefully over the next few days you will begin to memorize it if you havent already.
