What rule hath God given for our direction in prayer?

Read, reflect, and return to the Scriptures.

The whole Word of God is of use to direct us in prayer, but the special rule of direction is that form of prayer which Christ taught his disciples, commonly called, The Lord’s Prayer.

Scripture proofs: 1 John 5:14; Matt. 6:9-13 with Luke 11:2-4.
