| Pray for enemies | matt5v44 Speaking at a tumultuous time and place (Roman rule). |
Jesus was asked to teach his disciples to pray just as John (the Baptist) taught his followers (lk11v1).
How did John teach his disciples? I don't know.
Was it something liturgical like the Pharisees or other teachers of the time?
In response Jesus told his disciples to pray using the following framework (lk11vv2-4).
| Relationship | Father. |

| Throne Room | In Heaven. |
| Worship | Honour and Reverence. |
| Repentance | Your Kingdom ... Your will. |
| Provision | Give us... |
| Forgiveness | Handling hurts and disappointments. |
