Jesus was praying in a certain place, and when he had finished, one of his disciples said to him, “Lord, teach us to pray just as John taught his disciples.” Luke 11:1
There are 3 teachings in the Gospel today about prayer that are important:
1)Pray the Lord’s Prayer
2)Pray consistently
3)Persistent and correct prayer bears fruit
Why pray?
Learning to pray does not offer a less busy life but a less busy heart. You need to pray, you can’t do life on your own without prayer, learn that we are helpless on our own without prayer. Pray continuously, pray in the face of anxiety. Be hopeful, be thankful, realizing that your whole life is a gift. See Jesus at work in your life and in others’ lives.
