our father is like a proclamation of faith, a prayer which every christian should do, there is no personal wording in it. but psalm 23 is David own word " the Lord is MY Shepard"

It means you are a sheep

Why didn't Jesus teach us to pray "My Father in heaven?" Would it be wrong if we prayed like that?
