Title: “Lord, teach us to pray.”
Pray continually… – 1 Thessalonians 5:17
“Lord, teach us to pray.” This was a request made by the disciples. Perhaps they had learned from Jesus that prayer could be a very personal discipline instead of just a religious practice. Their request to Jesus suggests a newfound dimension of prayer to a personal Father rather than only to the God of the nation. Perhaps the disciples had done what I often do—taking conversation with my Heavenly Father for granted rather than entering into it as life’s most incredible privilege.
If prayer for you has become more of a formality than an adventure, consider asking the Lord to teach you to pray.
Real men pray earnestly.
