[The Lord's] prayer is a pattern for all Christian praying. Jesus is teaching that prayer will be acceptable when, and only when, the attitudes, thoughts, and desires expressed fit the pattern, That is to say: every prayer of ours should be a praying of the Lord’s Prayer in some shape or form. We never get beyond this prayer; not only is it the Lord’s first lesson in praying, it is all the other lessons too. - J.I. Packer
Through the Lord’s Prayer, Jesus is establishing in us a mental framework and a priority of values that will shape how we pray, think and live. Watch and adopt Jesus' model to have your life, mind and heart changed.
