One thought:
Because Jesus' disciples (some formerly John the Baptizer's disciples) asked him to teach them to pray(Luke 11:1). At Matthew 6:9-13 (Luke 11:2-4) Jesus provided a 'sample' of what to pray about, putting God's interests first....Glorifying God's name(Psalm 83:18)and thanking him for the things we appreciate, his promise of his Kingdom(Daniel 2:44/Matthew 6:33/Revelation 11:15), which will cause his will to be done on earth(Isaiah 11:9/Psalm 37:11+29/Matthew 5:5).... Then we can pray for help in dealing with other people (Ephesians 4:32/1 Corinthians 13:4-7/Colossians 3:13) and for our needs to be met(Philippians 4:6+7/1 John 3:22/Mark 11:24/Ephesians 3:20/Psalm 5:1+2). All proper subjects for prayer....
Jesus, however, made it clear that these words were not to be repeated over and over, from memory, because Matthew 6:7&8 tells us: "...when ye pray, use not vain repetitions, as the heathen do: for they think that they shall be heard for their much speaking.
Be not ye therefore like unto them: for your Father knoweth what things ye have need of, before ye ask him."(KJV)
(1 Kings 18:26)
God wants personal prayer 'poured out' (Psalm 62:7+8)from our own mind and our whole heart(Psalm 62:8/Psalm 142:2). He already knows what we're thinking, but he WANTS us to ask...to TRUST in him as the 'hearer of prayer' (Psalm 65:2/Psalm 34:18/Psalm 55:22) and as the one who will fulfill our needs(Psalm 145:18/1 John 5:14/2 Corinthians 1:3+4).
Jesus taught the 'Our Father' prayer as a model prayer for his followers, emphasizing themes of worship, dependence on God, forgiveness, and seeking His will. It serves as a guide for believers on how to approach God in prayer and express their spiritual needs.
holy spirit
According to Christian beliefs, Jesus died for humanity's sins to offer redemption and salvation. His sacrifice is seen as an act of love and atonement to bring people closer to God and offer the possibility of eternal life.
According to Christian tradition, Jesus had biological relatives like his mother Mary, father Joseph, and siblings such as James, Joses, Simon, and Judas. In addition, John the Baptist was considered a relative of Jesus based on Mary and Elizabeth being related.
According to tradition, Matthew the Apostle preached in Judea for 15 years before traveling to other regions to spread the teachings of Jesus.
These stories show Peter's loyalty and his human weaknesses. Despite his initial promise to always follow Jesus, he later denied him three times out of fear. However, Jesus' message to Peter at the Resurrection demonstrates forgiveness, reconciliation, and the opportunity for redemption.
Yes when the disciples asked Jesus to teach them to pray . He then taught them the OUR FATHER.

Nazareth** Jesus learned about God, his father. Jesus began to teach the elders of the church by preaching to them.
