Jesus showed the disciples how to pray. He said a prayer for them. He began his prayer by saying, “Our Father … in Heaven.” He thanked Heavenly Father. He asked Heavenly Father for help. He said “Amen” at the end of his prayer. Later Jesus told his disciples to pray in his name. Then Heavenly Father would answer their prayers. If people pray, Heavenly Father will bless them.
