"LORD, Teach Us To Pray."

Luke 11: 1 (NIV) - "One day Jesus was praying in a certain place. When he finished, one of his disciples said to him, "Lord, teach us to pray, just as John taught his disciples."


Something Thoughts To Think About:

  • The disciples had been watching Jesus in Prayer and suddenly it dawned on the unnamed disciple that somehow the amazing power of Jesus was connected with His Prayer Life. So he asked Him, "Lord, teach us to pray."
  • For Jesus Prayer was a Necessity.
  • There is no activity of life which does not require Prayer, a sense of expectation of God at work.
  • The disciples saw in Jesus that Prayer was not only Necessary but it was also Perfectly Natural!
  • For Jesus Prayer meant Thanksgiving!
  • Prayer was Communion to Jesus.
  • Prayer is to be our Life and our Breath so that no one need encourage us to pray any more than they would encourage us to eat. We must pray!
  • Lincoln - "I have been driven many times to my knees by the overwhelming conviction that I had absolutely no other place to go."

"Lord, teach us to pray."
