Teach us to Pray

The disciples watched Jesus pray and asked for one thing: Lord, teach us to pray. This series takes them up on it—the possibility of prayer, the pattern of the Lord's Prayer, the boldness of the friend knocking at midnight, and practical habits for a real prayer life. Prayer is powerful and effective, and it can be learned.

The Possibility of Prayer

Hosea 4:6 My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge James 5:16 The prayer of a righteous man is powerful and effective. James 4:3 You ask and do not receive, because you ask amiss The Possibility Of Prayer Luke 11:1 Once Jesus was in a certain place praying. As he finished, one of his disciples came to him and said, “Lord, teach us to pray, just as John taught his disciples.” Mark 1:35 Early in the morning, while it was still dark, Jesus got up and slipped out to a solitary place to pray. Mark 9:14-38 “What is all this arguing about?” Jesus asked. One of the men in the crowd spoke up and said, “Teacher, I brought my son so you could heal him.

The Lord's Prayer

Luke 11:1-2 Matthew 6:9-13 Our Father in heaven, Hallowed be Your name. Your kingdom come. Your will be done On earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our debts, As we forgive our debtors. And do not lead us into temptation, But deliver us from the evil one. For Yours is the kingdom and the power and the glory forever. Amen. Matthew 6:7 And when you pray, do not use vain repetitions as the heathen do. For they think that they will be heard for their many words. The Lord’s Prayer is too good to pray in vain, and it’s too good to think you’re too good for.

Knock, Knock

“5 And He said to them, “Which of you shall have a friend, and go to him at midnight and say to him, ‘Friend, lend me three loaves; 6 for a friend of mine has come to me on his journey, and I have nothing to set before him’; 7 and he will answer from within and say, ‘Do not trouble me; the door is now shut, and my children are with me in bed; I cannot rise and give to you’? 8 I say to you, though he will not rise and give to him because he is his friend, yet because of his persistence he will rise and give him as many as he needs. 9 “So I say to you, ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you.
