“Lord, teach us to pray” (Luke 11:1). That’s what the disciples wanted. Include me, too. Prayer is something that (almost) everyone does and everyone could do better. “When it comes to prayer, we are all beginners” says Philip Yancey. So, today as you speak the words of Christ, do so slowly. Consider each phrase. Jot down any word that is familiar to your tongue but fuzzy in your mind. Choose one phrase or word to carry in your mind the rest of the day. Remember that these are the words of Jesus Christ. As you pray like He prays, He is teaching you to think like He thinks.
I am thankful for this opportunity to gain new insights as we pray the Lord’s Prayer together.
