Depends, The Kingdom saints were to pray the our Father and follow that pattern, but we, The Body of Christ Saints are to simply make our requests known to God and the peace that passes all understanding shall be ours. How would you make your requests known to your Father?
Here is some extra meat regarding amen, it is the same word as verily. Many times Jesus spoke using this word when teaching, likewise we can speak with him as he speaks to us through His Word. Praise God!
Strong's G281
amen
am-ane'
Of Hebrew origin [H543]; properly firm, that is, (figuratively) trustworthy; adverbially surely (often as interjection so be it): - amen, verily.
Total KJV occurrences: 152
Strong's H543
'amen
aw-mane'
From H539; sure; abstractly faithfulness; adverbially truly: - Amen, so be it, truth.
Matthew 6:9-13 and a slightly abridged version in Luke gives us Christ's instructions in HOW we ought to pray. We have the honor and praise to God (fulfilling the First Commandment); and an example of seeking His Kingdom first and His will to be done-then asking for our daily provisions; forgiveness of sins (commission/omission) as well as forgiving others; asking to not be led into temptation; and being delivered from evil; and once again acknowledging God's authority (yours is the Kingdom; power and glory). Our prayers therefore are encapsulated in us verbalizing and meditating on God's authority and Holiness.
This by no means should be a ritualistic prayer. When we look at it; there really isn't any miraculous manifestation asked for in terms of healing; casting out demons; etc. But it needs to be the foundation of our lives so that our testimonies are genuine and we are living not for ourselves but for God. Clearly; we are NOT to pray as James states to satisfy our lusts ( James 4:3). There are times when we need to say God help! and clearly in a crisis life and death moment that may be enough. Trust in God's provisions despite external circumstances AND that the works that He has for us from before the beginning of the world ( Ephesians 2:10) are two major factors in a good prayer life. Obviously; discipline to listening to His voice; spending quality frequent quiet times in prayer and the Word are helpful as well. It is helpful to understand His will and also to rest in the fact that we have a High priest ever interceding for us ( Hebrews 7:25); and Romans 8:33. We all see through a glass darkly; but should seek to grow in maturity and wisdom.
I would suggest reading the Psalms to see how David began and ended prayers. In the New Testament, Jesus said that this is how we ought to pray,
Our Father, Who art in heaven; hallowed be Thy name. Thy kingdom come, thy will be done, on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread, and forgive us our debts (sins, trespasses) as you forgive our debts. 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. Matt. 6:9-13.
So, this prayer can be used as a framework for one's time in prayer.
