I've been doing it for years and I find it to be a helpful reminder of how prayer should be.<br /><br />Thanks for mentioning Luke 11. I kinda like that version actually.

There are two versions in Matt 6 and Luke 11, one having more detail than the other. That does indicate something of a pattern of themes for prayer rather than verbatim.
