What is the proper way to pray according to Jesus?

Jesus provided a structured approach to prayer in Matthew 6, which can be summarized in three main components: first, we are to praise God for His holiness and sovereignty. Second, we should bring our needs and supplications before Him, acknowledging our dependence on His provision. Lastly, we should conclude with praise, recognizing that all power and glory belong to Him. This cyclical nature of prayer emphasizes our relationship with God, begins and ends with reverence for who He is, and reflects a heart aligned with His will.
