Lord Teach Us How To Pray

Like Jesus’ disciples many of us continue to ask “Lord teach us how to pray.” This is a lesson that is learned through a lifetime undertaking for as one person has said of prayer “who can ever master something in which the main object is to be mastered?” So give up on the excuse “I’m really not that good at praying” as a reason for not participating in prayer, none of us will ever be “good enough.” Rather, we pray in order to have God do a great work in us and through us.

“Please remember, we are dealing with the crucifixion of the will, not the obliteration of the will. Crucifixion always has resurrection tied to it. God is not destroying the will but transforming it so that over a process of time and experience we can freely will what God wills. In the crucifixion of the will we are enabled to let go of our tightfisted hold on life and follow our best prayers.”

  So, get praying! God has much to teach you about prayer and Himself.

Basking in His grace,
