How does Jesus teach us to pray?

In Matthew 6:5-15, Jesus teaches that prayer should be a private matter, free from the desire for public admiration. He advises entering a closet and shutting the door to pray in secret. This highlights the intimate nature of prayer as communication with our Father. Jesus further provides the Lord's Prayer as a model for our prayers, emphasizing elements such as the holiness of God’s name and the submission to His will. This teaching reinforces that effective prayer comes from a heart devoted to God, seeking His glory and provision rather than the recognition of others.
