a prayer that we know well..

Now Jesus was praying in a certain place, and when he finished, one of his disciples said to him, "Lord, teach us to pray, as John taught his disciples."And he said to them, "When you pray, say:
"Father, hallowed be your name.
Your kingdom come.
Give us each day our daily bread,
and forgive us our sins,
for we ourselves forgive everyone who is indebted to us.
And lead us not into temptation."
Luke 11:1-4

I have comforted myself with this fact: that when my prayers have been feeble or wandering, or even prevented from any proper attention, but I have prayed the Lord’s Prayer, I have covered all the essentials.
