Jesus’ teaching on prayer in Matthew 6 is a call to authenticity, humility, and intimacy with God. Christ demonstrated these values not only through His instructions but also through His own prayer life. By retreating to pray in private, by offering sincere and humble petitions, and by living a life of forgiveness, He set the example for a prayerful life rooted in devotion and dependence on the Father. As we reflect on His teachings, we are reminded that prayer is not about eloquence or external recognition, but about cultivating a deep, ongoing relationship with God.
