Matthew 6: 9-11. Jesus is not telling us what to pray, he is telling us how to pray. 38 of these words are to God, giving him praise and honor. 29 of those words are about us. Give us this day, forgive us our debt, lead us not into temptation, deliver us from evil, and not one word about me. God taught us to start this prayer with him and end it with him. So the focus is set on God, with some focus on us, and mention of me at all. Now most of us don't have a problem putting God last in our prayers, but he needs to be first also. He also wanted US is our prayers and somehow we have changed US to ME. If I decide to stop focusing all my prayer on me, and focus on God and US, then God will take care of me and all my problems.
