144:3.1 But [[the apostles]] were not yet [[satisfied]]; they [[desired]] [[Jesus]] to give them a [[model]] [[prayer]] which they could teach the new [[disciples]]. After [[listening]] to this [[discourse]] on [[prayer]], [[James, the Apostle|James Zebedee]] said: " Very good, Master, but we do not [[desire]] a form of [[prayer]] for ourselves so much as for the newer believers who so frequently beseech us, `Teach us how acceptably to [[pray]] to [[the Father]] in heaven.' "
144:3.2 When [[James, the Apostle|James]] had finished speaking, [[Jesus]] said: " If, then, you still [[desire]] such a [[prayer]], I would present the one which I taught my brothers and sisters in [[Nazareth]] " :
**144:3.3 [[Our Father]] who is in [[heaven]],
**Hallowed be your name.
**Your kingdom come; your will be done
**On [[earth]] as it is in [[heaven]].
**Give us this day our bread for tomorrow;
**Refresh our [[souls]] with the [[water]] of life.
**And [[forgive]] us every one our [[debts]]
**As we also have forgiven our debtors.
**Save us in [[temptation]], deliver us from [[evil]],
**And increasingly make us [[perfect]] like yourself.[http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Gospel_of_Luke#Chapter_11]
144:3.4 It is not strange that [[the apostles]] [[desired]] [[Jesus]] to teach them a [[model]] [[prayer]] for believers. [[John the Baptist]] had taught his followers several [[prayers]]; all great teachers had [[formulated]] prayers for their [[pupils]]. The religious [[teachers]] of the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jews Jews] had some twenty-five or thirty set prayers which they [[recited]] in the [[synagogue]]s and even on the street corners. [[Jesus]] was particularly averse to praying in [[public]]. Up to this time [[the twelve]] had heard him [[pray]] only a few times. They [[observed]] him spending entire nights at [[prayer]] or [[worship]], and they were very [[curious]] to know the [[manner]] or [[form]] of his [[petitions]]. They were really hard pressed to know what to answer [[the multitudes]] when they asked to be taught how to [[pray]] as [[John the Baptist|John]] had taught his [[disciples]].
144:3.5 [[Jesus]] taught [[the twelve]] always to [[pray]] in [[secret]]; to go off by themselves amidst the [[quiet]] [[surroundings]] of [[nature]] or to go in their rooms and shut the doors when they [[engaged]] in [[prayer]].
144:3.6 After [[Jesus]]' [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_187 death] and [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_193 ascension] to [[the Father]] it became the [[practice]] of many believers to finish this so-called [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lord's_Prayer Lord's prayer] by the addition of—" In the [[name]] of the Lord [[Jesus]] [[Christ]]. " Still later on, two lines were lost in copying, and there was added to this [[prayer]] an extra clause, reading: " For yours is [[the kingdom]] and the [[power]] and the [[glory]], forevermore. "
144:3.7 [[Jesus]] gave [[the apostles]] the [[prayer]] in [[collective]] form as they had prayed it in the [[Nazareth]] [[home]]. He never taught a [[formal]] [[personal]] [[prayer]], only [[group]], [[family]], or [[social]] [[petitions]]. And he never [[volunteered]] to do that.
144:3.8 [[Jesus]] taught that [[effective]] [[prayer]] must be:
*1. ''Unselfish''—not alone for oneself.
*2. ''Believing''—according to [[faith]].
*3. ''Sincere''—[[honest]] of [[heart]].
*4. ''Intelligent''—according to [[light]].
*5. ''Trustful''—in submission to [[the Father]]'s all-[[wise]] will.
144:3.9 When [[Jesus]] spent whole nights on the mountain in [[prayer]], it was mainly for his [[disciples]], particularly for [[the twelve]]. [[The Master]] prayed very little for himself, although he [[engaged]] in much [[worship]] of the [[nature]] of [[understanding]] [[communion]] with his [[Paradise Father]].
