You Are There - Teach Us To Pray

Many of us say The Lord's Prayer regularly, but immediately preceding the Lord's Prayer in Scripture (Luke 11:1) is a humble request from a disciple that we may not be familiar with: "Lord, teach us to pray." How we pray will largely be governed by who we understand God to be. In Luke 11 Jesus taught his disciples to pray to their Father, and in Psalm 139 David prays to a God of omnipresence. We, too, are invited to pray, but we may need to humble ourselves first and ask, "Lord, teach us to pray."
