Luke 11:1-4
The LORD'S Prayer
1 One day Jesus was praying in a certain place. When he finished, one of his disciples said to him, “Lord, teach us to pray, just as John taught his disciples.”
2 He said to them, “When you pray, say:
“‘Father,
hallowed be your name,
your kingdom come.
3 Give us each day our daily bread.
4 Forgive us our sins,
for we also forgive everyone who sins against us.
And lead us not into temptation.’”
1 Thessalonians 5:16-18
Pray Continually
16 Rejoice always, 17 pray continually, 18 give thanks in all circumstances; for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus.
Praying gets us closer to God...We learn about Him...St. Paul teaches us to pray continually...We get to know God the more and more we communicate with Him...Jesus helped teach His disciples more on and about prayer...He taught them about forgiveness in His Prayer...
Author Philip Yancey says this about prayer, “The main purpose of prayer is not to make life easier, nor to gain magical powers, but to know God.”...
