What Yeshua taught about tefiloh

“Do not be like them (goyim). Your Father already knows what you need before you ask him.

This, then, is how you should pray: 'Our Father in heaven: May Your holy name be honored; may Your Kingdom come; may Your will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Give us today the bread we need. Forgive us the sins we have done, as we forgive the sins that others have done to us. Do not bring us to hard testing, but keep us safe from the evil one.

If you forgive others the wrongs they have done to you, your Father in heaven will also forgive you. But if you do not forgive others, then your Father will not forgive the wrongs you have done.

And when you fast, do not put on a sad face as the ‘chonfim’ (two-faced) do. They neglect their appearance so that everyone will see that they are fasting. I assure you, they have already been paid in full. When you go without food, wash your face and comb your hair, so that others cannot know that you are fasting---only your Father, who is unseen, will know. And your Father, who sees what you do in private, will reward you.

Do not store up riches for yourselves here on earth, where insects and rust destroy, and ‘gnovim’ (thieves) break in and steal. Instead, store up riches for yourselves in heaven, where insects and rust cannot destroy, and gnovim cannot break in and steal. For your heart will always be where your riches are.

The eyes are like a lamp for the body. If your eyes are healthy, your whole body will be full of light; but if your eyes are no good, your body will be in darkness. So if the light in you is darkness, how terribly dark it will be!

You cannot be a slave of two masters; you will hate one and love the other; you will be loyal to one and despise the other. You cannot serve both HaKadosh Baruch Hu and money.

This is why I tell you: do not be worried about the food and drink you need in order to stay alive, or about clothes for your body. After all, isn't life worth more than food? And isn't the body worth more than clothes? Look at the birds: they do not plant seeds, gather a harvest and put it in barns; yet your Father in heaven takes care of them! Aren't you worth much more than birds?

Can any of you live a bit longer by worrying about it? And why worry about clothes? Look how the wild flowers grow: they do not work or make clothes for themselves. But I tell you that not even HaMelech Shlomo with all his wealth had clothes as beautiful as one of these flowers.

It is HaKadosh Baruch Hu who clothes the wild grass---grass that is here today and gone tomorrow, burned up in the oven. Won't He be all the more sure to clothe you? What little faith you have!

So do not start worrying: ‘Where will my food come from? or my drink? or my clothes?’ (These are the things the goyim are always concerned about.) Your Father in heaven knows that you need all these things. Instead, be concerned above everything else with the Kingdom of HaKadosh Baruch Hu and with what He requires of you, and He will provide you with all these other things.

So do not worry about tomorrow; it will have enough worries of its own. There is no need to add to the troubles each day brings. ‘Genug iz far dem tog zayn aygene plog’.” (Each day has enough trouble for itself).
