Prayer as a Way of
Life with Sis. Cristy and Bro. Rolly

LORD TEACH ME TO PRAY
(PART-1)
‘…Lord,
teach us to pray…’ Luke 11:1
Today’s Devotion
In his book, ‘With
Christ in the School of Prayer’, Andrew Murray writes: ‘None can teach
like Jesus…therefore we call on Him, “Lord, teach us to pray.” A pupil needs a
teacher who knows his work, who has the gift of teaching, who in patience and
love will descend to the pupil’s needs. Blest be God! Jesus is all this and
much more…Jesus loves to teach us how to pray.’ If you:
a)
are not sure God is really listening when you talk to Him;
b)
don’t understand why some prayers seem to go unanswered;
c)
wonder if you are praying ‘right’ or generally feel frustrated in prayer;
d)
are eager to know what to do to feel more connected with God and gain
confidence that your prayers really do make a difference, say, ‘Lord, teach me
to pray.
’
Although there are principles of prayer that apply to everyone, God will lead
each of us individually. He wants to take you just the way you are, and help
you discover your own rhythm of prayer; to develop a style of prayer that
maximizes your relationship with Him.
He
wants prayer to be an easy, natural, life-giving way of communicating as you
share your heart with Him and allow Him to share His heart with you. Prayer is
so simple; it’s nothing more than talking to God and taking time to listen to
what He has to say to you. God has a personalized prayer plan for you, a way
for you to communicate most effectively with Him. So begin by saying, ‘Lord,
teach me to pray.’
