Matthew 6:9-13, “This, then, is how you should pray: Our Father in heaven, hallowed be Your name, ¹⁰ Your Kingdom come,
Your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven. ¹¹ Give us today our daily bread. ¹² And forgive us our debts, as we also have forgiven our debtors. ¹³ And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from the evil one, for Yours is the Kingdom and the power and the glory forever. Amen.”

Romans 8:14-15, ”For those who are led by the Spirit of God are the children of God. ¹⁵ The Spirit you received does not make you slaves, so that you live in fear again; rather, the Spirit you received brought about your adoption to Sonship. And by Him we cry, ‘Abba, Father.’”
