Luke 11:1-8
If you remember, last week we talked about Jesus’s great power and our need to have faith in Him. We learned about how important it is to Be Still so we can hear God’s will for us, having peace in God’s love for us and having confidence in Jesus’ power.
Today, we are going to learn how to pray. And, we’re going to learn by reading in the Bible how Jesus taught His disciples to pray! Jesus gave us a model in the prayer that we know as The Lord’s Prayer, a prayer that Christians pray often.
We’ll learn that when we pray:
- We ask for God’s help us live in His will.
- We trust him to meet our needs.
- We ask him to forgive our sins and to help us forgive others.
- We ask God to help us when we are tempted to sin.
