Teach Us To Pray

Teach Us To Pray

“Lord, teach us to pray” (Luke 11:1) is what one of the disciples said to Jesus as He finished a time of prayer. I tend to think that this particular disciple, as well as the others, were beginning to make the connection between Jesus’ prayer life, and the power He ministered with. Nobody had heard teaching quite like this Rabbi. He had tremendous authority on His words. He healed all manner of sicknesses. He commanded demons to depart and they obeyed. Jesus spent much time alone talking to His Father in Heaven, which is what He then taught His disciples to do. Brothers and sisters, let’s regain this “teach us to pray” mentality once again. We need the power of God in our churches like never before. Now that’s something to pray about!
