Matthew 6:9-13:
Pray then like this: “Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your name. Your kingdom come, your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread, and forgive us our debts, as we also have forgiven our debtors. And lead us not into temptation,but deliver us from evil.
John Piper:
The most important prayer ("Hallowed be your name.") is that the most important person in the universe (God) do the most important act in the universe (Use your infinite power and wisdom and love to stir up billions of hearts and minds to admire you and prize you above all things.) . ... Ask the Lord to help you make the most important prayer your most common prayer. And the one you desire most to see answered.
Read Piper's entire post.
If you would like to read more about Matthew 6:9-13, I recommend A.W. Pink's book "The Lord's Prayer," which is available online here.
