Forgive Us
Students may read Matthew 6:5-15
The disciples learned many things about prayer from Jesus. He taught them to pray privately for their own needs. They learned to pray for others, even for their enemies. One day, a disciple said to Jesus, "Lord, teach us to pray,” like John the Baptist taught his disciples. So, Jesus gave them a model prayer that became known as the Lord’s Prayer. Part of the prayer says, “And forgive us our debts, as we also have forgiven our debtors.”
