LORD, TEACH US TO PRAY!

His disciples would wake up, but Jesus wasn't there.  Where did He go?  The earliest riser would go off hunting for Jesus.  Again and again, they would find Him off somewhere praying - talking with His Father!

Somehow, eventually, they connected the dots:
  • He's remarkably calm because He prays so much!
  • He has uncany wisdom because He prays so much!
  • He is able to perform miracles because of this intimate connection He has with His Heavenly Father!
  • He is able to heal because He is one with His Heavenly Father!
  • He is joyful and positive because He's always off praying!
  • He's consistent and faith-filled because of His intimacy with His Father!
Once they realized this, they asked Him:  "Lord, teach us to pray!"  You see, they wanted:
  • peace.
  • wisdom.
  • to be able to do great works.
  • to bless people by healing them.
  • to be joyful and positive.
  • to be consistent and faith-filled!
Sort of makes you want to learn to pray, doesn't it? 

Our granddaughter, Rylie, is learning to pray.  Turn your volume up all-the-way and click below to hear her:
Lord, if an almost four-year-old can learn to pray - so can I.  Please, teach me to pray!
