Lord, Teach Us to Pray
There are some things we learn by watching others. There are some things we learn through experience. And then there are some things that require us to remain students no matter how long we have been walking with God. And, prayer is one of them.
Luke 11:1 records an interesting request from the disciples,
"Lord, teach us to pray..."
Think about who was asking. These were Jewish men. Prayer was not foreign to them. They had heard prayer in the synagogue. They knew the Scriptures. Prayer was woven into their religious culture. Yet after walking with Jesus and observing His relationship with the Father, they recognized that there was something about His prayer life they needed to learn.
They did not ask, Lord, teach us to preach.
They did not ask, Lord, teach us to perform miracles.
They did not ask, Lord, teach us how to cast out devils.
They said, Lord, teach us to pray.
There was something about Jesus' communion with the Father that made them realize there was more to prayer than they presently understood.
And, that should still be the posture of every believer.
No matter how long we have prayed.
No matter how many prayer meetings we have attended.
No matter how comfortable we are praying publicly.
No matter how much Scripture we know.
There should remain something within us that says, Lord, teach me to pray.
Prayer is not merely a spiritual discipline we eventually master. Prayer is part of an ongoing relationship with God.
Simplify and Demystify
Prayer has been part of my life since I was a child.
Years ago, while preparing to teach a class on prayer, I the Holy Spirit impressed two words
upon me, simplify and demystify.
Those words have remained with me because, depending on our church background, we can make prayer appear far more complicated than Scripture does.
We hear people with mature prayer lives pray with authority, intensity, biblical language, and spiritual understanding. That can be powerful.
But someone listening may leave thinking, I don't know how to pray like that. Or, maybe God won't hear me because I don't sound like them.
I come from a tradition where we know how to pray fervently. I believe in fervent prayer because the book of James tells us that the effectual fervent prayer of a righteous person avails much.
However, fervency should never be confused with performance.
Volume is not the measure of prayer.
Vocabulary is not the measure of prayer.
Length is not the measure of prayer.
And people's reaction to your prayer is certainly not the measure of prayer.
At its foundation, prayer is communication with God.
That is simple enough for a child to understand and deep enough for us to spend a lifetime growing in it.
A new believer can pray.
Someone who cannot quote fifty Scriptures can pray.
Someone who has never attended a prayer conference can pray.
You do not need an extensive theological vocabulary before you can talk to your Father.
You begin where you are.
Then, like the disciples, you allow Jesus to teach you how to go deeper.
Prayer Is a Dialogue, Not a Monologue
One of the foundational truths I taught in the original class was this, “Prayer is a dialogue, not a monologue.”
Many of us learned prayer primarily as something we do toward God.
We talk.
We ask.
We petition.
We thank Him.
We tell Him what is happening.
We tell Him what we need.
Then we say, "In Jesus' name, Amen," get up, and move on with our day.
But if prayer is part of a relationship, communication is incomplete without a sender and receiver, and vice-versa. Imagine having a relationship with someone where every conversation worked this way:
They called you.
They talked for thirty minutes.
They told you everything happening in their life.
They asked you several questions.
They told you everything they needed from you.
And just as you were preparing to respond, they said goodbye and hung up.
Eventually, you would realize:
This isn't a conversation.
Yet sometimes we approach God this way.
Prayer includes speaking and listening.
This does not mean every thought that enters our mind during prayer is the voice of God. What we hear must remain consistent with Scripture. But we should cultivate enough stillness in our prayer lives to allow the Holy Spirit to direct our attention, convict us, remind us of Scripture, and shape our hearts.
Prayer is more than presenting God with a list. It is fellowship. It is communion. It is relationship.
Sometimes the question we need to ask is, “When was the last time you and God simply spent time together?”
Not because you were in trouble.
Not because you needed a door opened.
Not because you needed an answer by Friday.
But because you wanted Him.
There is a difference between continually seeking the hand of God and learning to seek the face of God.
Mature prayer teaches us to desire the One we are praying to, not only the things we are
praying for.
Before Jesus Taught Us How to Pray, He Taught Us How Not to Pray
Before examining the pattern Jesus gave His disciples, we need to pay attention to what He says immediately before it.
Matthew 6:5 says,
"And when thou prayest, thou shalt not be as the hypocrites are..."
Jesus was not criticizing prayer. He was confronting motive.
Some prayed publicly because they wanted to be seen praying. Their prayer was a
performance.
This should sober every person who ministers publicly because it is possible to do something spiritual for a carnal reason.
It is possible to say the right words with the wrong motive.
It is possible to become known as a person of prayer while privately neglecting your relationship with God.
If someone tells you, "You can really pray," receive the compliment graciously, but never begin praying for compliments.
The goal of prayer is not to convince people that we know God. The goal is to know God.
Jesus then says,
"But when ye pray, use not vain repetitions, as the heathen do..." Matthew 6:7, KJV
Jesus was not teaching that repeating a request is automatically wrong. Luke 18 teaches
persistence in prayer. The issue is vain repetition, empty words, meaningless words.
Words spoken as though the repetition itself possesses power.
Then Jesus says,
"After this manner therefore pray ye..." Matthew 6:9, KJV
The Lord's Prayer is more than something to memorize and recite. It is a pattern.
Relationship.
Reverence.
Kingdom.
Surrender.
Dependence.
Repentance.
Forgiveness.
Protection.
When we understand the pattern, we begin to understand prayer.
Prayer Is an Act of Humility
Philippians 4:6 says,
"Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God."
Every genuine prayer contains an element of humility.
Why? Because when I pray, I acknowledge, I am not God. I do not know everything. I cannot see everything. I cannot control everything.
There are people I cannot change. There are doors I cannot open. There are circumstances I cannot fix. There are decisions for which my wisdom is insufficient. So I pray.
Prayer says, Father, I need You. That is humility.
In my class, I described supplication as a humble petition, emphasizing that prayer recognizes we are approaching One whose wisdom, authority, and power exceed our own.
Proverbs 3:5–6 tells us,
"Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths."
We tend to pray intensely about things we cannot handle.
But what if we also prayed about the things we think we can handle?
What if we prayed before accepting the opportunity that looks perfect?
Before responding to the email?
Before entering the relationship?
Before saying yes?
Sometimes our greatest mistakes are not made because we lacked intelligence. They are made because we trusted our intelligence without seeking God.
Philippians says,
"In every thing..."
Prayer is our continual acknowledgment that no matter how educated, experienced, gifted, accomplished, or spiritually mature we become, we remain dependent upon God.
Prayer, Supplication, Petition, and Thanksgiving
Philippians 4:6 also shows us that prayer has different expressions.
Prayer is the larger category of communicating and communing with God.
Within prayer we offer supplication, bringing earnest and humble requests before Him.
We make requests, specifically identifying what we are asking.
We may bring petitions, intentionally presenting matters before God.
In my class, I encouraged students to write some of their petitions. Writing forces us to slow down and consider what we are actually asking God to do. It can also lead us to search
Scripture concerning the matter and bring our requests before God more intentionally.
But Philippians includes something we cannot overlook, Thanksgiving.
Before telling God everything I need Him to do, I need to remember what He has already done.
Thanksgiving says, God, You have been faithful. You have kept me. You have provided
before. You have carried me through things I did not think I would survive.
First Thessalonians 5:18 says,
"In every thing give thanks..."
It does not say for everything give thanks, but in everything give thanks. There is a difference between thanking God for everything and finding a reason to thank Him in everything.
I learned this deeply as my father was nearing the end of his life. During that season, I learned what it really means to give a sacrifice of praise. Through tears, I thanked God for my father’s life.
I thanked Him for giving me my father.
I thanked Him that I knew the love of a good father.
I thanked Him for the years we had been given.
Praise did not mean I wanted to lose him.
Thanksgiving did not make the pain disappear.
It meant that even in grief, I could still identify the goodness of God.
Sometimes thanksgiving flows easily. Other times it is a sacrifice.
Either way, it turns our attention from our circumstances toward the character of our God.
Our Father: Prayer Begins With Relationship
Jesus begins,
"Our Father which art in heaven..." Matthew 6:9, KJV
Before Jesus teaches us what to ask for, He establishes who we are speaking to.
The Father.
Prayer begins with our relationship with the Father.
Ephesians 2:18 says,
"For through him we both have access by one Spirit unto the Father."
Look at the picture of the Trinity in this scripture
Through the Son.
By the Spirit.
Unto the Father.
Through Christ we have access to God..
This is also why praying in Jesus' name means more than attaching those words to the end of a prayer. Jesus' name is not a spiritual password. His name represents His person, character, authority, and redemptive work.
We approach the Father because of what Christ has accomplished.
But Jesus did not say, “My Father.”
He said, “Our Father.”
The prayer continues, “Give us. Our daily bread. Forgive us. Lead us. Deliver us”.
Personal prayer should never become completely self-centered.
If He is our Father, my prayers should eventually become larger than me.
I should pray for your children as well as mine.
Your healing as well as mine.
Your provision as well as mine.
Your salvation as well as mine.
Prayer enlarges our hearts beyond ourselves.
Hallowed Be Thy Name: Prayer Begins With God
Jesus continues,
"Hallowed be thy name."
Before bread.
Before forgiveness.
Before protection.
Before personal requests.
God is centered.
To hallow God's name is to recognize Him as holy and worthy of reverence.
This is where prayer, praise, thanksgiving, and worship intersect.
We may separate them in our church services, but our relationship with God is not divided into segments.
Praise can be prayer.
Thanksgiving can be prayer.
Worship can be prayer.
There are times when you can spend your prayer time telling God who He is and thanking Him for what He has done.
Father, You are holy.
You are faithful.
You are righteous.
You are merciful.
You are our provider.
You are our keeper.
God does not need to be reminded that He is great.
We do.
Sometimes we enter prayer with the problem so close to our face that it becomes all we can see. Worship causes us to lift our eyes and focus on Him.
The problem may still exist, but now we are viewing it in light of who God is.
Thy Kingdom Come: Prayer Must Agree With God's Will
Jesus continues,
"Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven."Matthew 6:10, KJV
We are several lines into the prayer, and Jesus still has not asked for anything personal.
That challenges the way we naturally pray.
We often begin:
Lord, this is what I need.
Lord, open this door.
Lord, change this situation.
There is nothing wrong with bringing our desires before God.
But before Jesus teaches, "Give us,"
He teaches, "Thy will be done."
One mark of a maturing prayer life is that we stop treating prayer as a method for getting God to agree with us.
Prayer gradually teaches us to agree with God.
Immature prayer can sound like, God, bless what I have already decided.
Mature prayer increasingly says, Father, show me what You desire and bring my heart into agreement with it.
1 John 5:14 says:
"...if we ask any thing according to his will, he heareth us."
One of the primary ways we learn God's will is through His Word. That is why Scripture should shape our prayers. But we must handle Scripture correctly.
Not every biblical promise can be removed from its context and treated as an unconditional personal guarantee.
We ask, Who was speaking? To whom? What was happening? Is this a universal promise, a command, a principle, or a specific historical promise?
Praying the Word requires knowing the Word rightly.
Prayer is not about building my kingdom with God's assistance. Prayer is the method of
communication in His Kingdom.
Give Us This Day: Learning Daily Dependence
Jesus now teaches us to ask,
"Give us this day our daily bread." Matthew 6:11, KJV
God is not offended by our needs. Jesus tells us to bring them to the Father. But there is dependence built into the phrase daily bread.
In the class I taught, I connected this with Israel receiving manna in the wilderness. God provided what they needed, teaching them to depend upon Him continually.
This does not mean planning is wrong.
Scripture commends wisdom and stewardship.
It means our ultimate confidence cannot rest in what we have accumulated.
Sometimes we want God to give us everything we will need for the next ten years because having the entire supply would make us feel secure.
But God often gives us:
Enough strength for today.
Enough wisdom for today's decision.
Enough grace for today's burden.
Enough provision for today's assignment.
And daily bread is not merely financial.
What do you need today?
Wisdom?
Patience?
Courage?
Peace?
Self-control?
Direction?
Grace to endure?
Strength to forgive?
Jesus teaches us to bring daily life before the Father.
Prayer is not reserved for emergencies.
Forgive Us Our Debts: Repentance and Forgiveness
Jesus continues,
"And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors." Matthew 6:12, KJV
Repentance belongs in the prayer life of a believer.
First John 1:9 says,
"If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins..."
Confession does not inform God of something He did not know.
It means we agree with God about our sin rather than excusing it.
And sometimes repentance requires more than words.
Years ago, the Holy Spirit reminded me about money I owed someone. Time had passed. I could have ignored it. Instead, I contacted her, apologized, and began making it right.
Later I learned that she was experiencing financial difficulty during that time. What God required from me in obedience became provision in her time of need.
Sometimes repentance requires action.
Apologize.
Return what belongs to someone.
Correct the lie.
Pay what you owe.
Change the behavior.
But Jesus immediately connects receiving forgiveness with extending forgiveness.
Mark 11:25 says,
"And when ye stand praying, forgive, if ye have ought against any..."
Forgiveness does not mean what happened was acceptable. It does not mean trust must automatically be restored. And it does not mean reconciliation is always possible or safe.
It means we release vengeance to God and refuse to allow another person's offense to govern our hearts.
Prayer will eventually confront unforgiveness.
Prayer will confront pride.
Prayer will confront envy.
Prayer will confront our unwillingness to apologize.
Because prayer is not only about changing circumstances.
Prayer changes us.
Lead Us Not Into Temptation: Prayer and Spiritual Protection
Jesus continues,
"And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil..."Matthew 6:13, KJV
James 1:13 makes clear that God does not entice anyone to sin.
Jesus is teaching us to recognize our dependence upon God for spiritual protection, guidance, and strength when we are tested.
We pray:
Father, guide me.
Keep me.
Strengthen me.
Help me recognize temptation.
Deliver me from evil.
Jesus modeled something important when Satan tempted Him in the wilderness.
His response was, "It is written."
Again, "It is written."
He answered temptation with the Word of God.
Spiritual warfare is not primarily about dramatic vocabulary.
It is about standing in truth.
You cannot consistently recognize a lie if you do not know the truth.
And sometimes we pray extensively about external enemies while ignoring internal
weaknesses.
We should also ask, Where am I vulnerable? What desires need to be surrendered? What boundaries do I need? Where have I become overconfident?
1 Corinthians 10:13 tells us God provides a way of escape from temptation.
Sometimes we are praying for deliverance while standing in front of the door God has already provided for us to leave.
Take the way of escape.
Prayer and obedience belong together.
Prayer Must Be Mixed With Faith
Hebrews 11:6 says,
"But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is..."
There is faith involved in approaching God.
When we pray, we acknowledge that God exists, hears, cares, and is able to respond.
But biblical faith is not convincing ourselves that God must give us everything we ask.
Mark 11:22 begins,
"Have faith in God."
Before the mountain. Before the request. Before the answer. Have faith in God.
Sometimes we place more faith in our desired outcome than we do in God's character.
We say we trust God when what we really mean is:
I trust that God will do exactly what I want.
Those are not always the same thing.
Faith prays boldly.
Faith takes God's Word seriously.
Faith persists.
But mature faith also trusts God's wisdom.
Jesus prayed in Gethsemane,
"Nevertheless not my will, but thine, be done." Luke 22:42, KJV
That was not weak faith.
That was submission.
Faith does not turn prayer into control.
It gives us confidence to bring our requests before God while trusting Him with the answer.
And faith grows through God's Word.
Romans 10:17 says,
"So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God."
As I emphasized in the class, faith comes through hearing and hearing. We need continual exposure to God's Word so that truth increasingly becomes louder than fear, circumstances, and unbelief.
Our prayer lives and our study lives cannot be separated.
The Word gives language to our faith, and faith gives substance to our prayers.
Men Ought Always to Pray
Luke 18:1 says,
"Men ought always to pray, and not to faint."
Jesus tells us the point before giving the parable.
Pray. Do not faint.
He then tells of a widow who repeatedly approached an unjust judge seeking justice.
The judge eventually responded because she continued coming.
Jesus' point is not that God is an unjust judge who must be harassed into helping us.
The argument is from the lesser to the greater.
If even an unjust judge eventually responds, how much more can God's people trust their righteous God?
The widow teaches persistence.
Persistent prayer is not the same as vain repetition.
Vain repetition is empty.
Persistent prayer is faithful.
Some prayers we pray once.
Other matters we carry before God repeatedly.
But there is a difference between persistence and striving.
Persistence says, I will continue bringing this before God because I trust Him.
Striving says, If I pray hard enough or perfectly enough, perhaps I can force God to act.
We are not trying to wear God down.
We persist because Jesus told us not to lose heart.
And at the end of the parable Jesus asks,
"...when the Son of man cometh, shall he find faith on the earth?" Luke 18:8, KJV
The parable begins with prayer.
It ends with faith.
The question is not merely, Will you keep praying?
It is, Will you keep believing God while you pray?
Prayer Is Communion With God
1 Thessalonians 5:17 says,
"Pray without ceasing."
That does not mean we spend twenty-four hours a day physically kneeling in prayer.
It means prayer becomes an ongoing posture of life.
In the class, I described this as remaining in tune with heaven.
You may be driving and someone comes strongly to mind.
Pray.
You may awaken during the night with someone on your heart.
Pray.
You may sense the Holy Spirit prompting you about a situation while working.
Pray.
You do not have to wait until you reach church.
There should be an openness in our lives that says:
Holy Spirit, if You prompt me, I am listening.
But continual prayer should not replace dedicated prayer.
Jesus lived in communion with the Father and still intentionally withdrew to pray.
We need both.
Rhythm and relationship.
This is why prayer is more than asking.
It is communion.
In the original class, I moved from describing prayer as communication to something deeper:
It is communing with God. It is fellowshipping with Him.
Sometimes I enter prayer wanting God to change my circumstances, and God changes me.
I enter anxious and leave with peace.
I enter confused and leave with clarity.
I enter offended and leave convicted.
I enter discouraged and leave strengthened.
That is prayer too.
Philippians 4 tells us to bring our requests to God.
Then it promises,
"And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus."
The circumstance may not have changed yet, but something has happened in the person who prayed.
The Holy Spirit Helps Us Pray
There is another reason prayer does not have to intimidate us.
We have help.
Romans 8:26 says,
"Likewise the Spirit also helpeth our infirmities: for we know not what we should pray for as we ought..."
There are times when we do not know how to pray.
Sometimes the situation is too complicated.
Sometimes the pain is too deep.
Sometimes we do not have enough information.
Sometimes all we can say is:
Holy Spirit, help me.
And He does.
Paul continues,
"...but the Spirit itself maketh intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered."
Verse 27 tells us that this intercession is according to the will of God.
The Holy Spirit helps us in our weakness.
This is why prayer can never be reduced to technique.
There are patterns to learn.
There are Scriptures to know.
There are disciplines to develop.
But ultimately prayer is relationship with the living God.
We come to the Father.
Through the Son.
With the help of the Holy Spirit.
And that brings us back to where we began.
Prayer does not have to be mysterious.
It is profoundly spiritual.
It can become incredibly deep.
But at its foundation, prayer is relationship.
Final Thoughts: Learn to Pray by Praying
I want to return to the disciples' request,
"Lord, teach us to pray."
Jesus answered them. But He did not merely give them information about prayer. He gave them a pattern they would have to practice.
You cannot learn prayer only by studying prayer.
At some point, you have to pray.
You can read every book. Attend every conference. Study every biblical prayer. Listen to every sermon. But eventually you have to put down the notes and talk to God.
Prayer is learned in the practice of prayer.
You learn God's faithfulness by praying.
You learn patience while waiting.
You learn surrender when His answer differs from yours.
You learn dependence when your wisdom is insufficient.
You learn repentance when His presence exposes what needs to change.
You learn compassion when your prayers expand beyond yourself.
And sometimes you discover that the answer you thought you needed was not the greatest thing God intended to give you.
Sometimes the greatest gift of prayer is God Himself.
That is why I still believe those two words the Holy Spirit gave me years ago matter, Simplify and Demystify.
Prayer is not reserved for a spiritual elite. It is not reserved for intercessors. It is not reserved for pastors. It is not reserved for people who can pray for an hour. If you belong to Jesus Christ, you have access to the Father.
So, begin.
Talk to Him.
Thank Him.
Worship Him.
Tell Him where you are.
Ask for what you need.
Confess your sin.
Forgive.
Listen.
Read His Word.
Pray His Word.
Allow the Holy Spirit to help you.
And then, do it again.
When you feel strong, Pray.
When you feel weak, Pray.
When you know what to do, Pray.
When you have no idea what to do, Pray.
When the answer comes, Pray and give thanks.
When the answer has not come:
Keep praying, And no matter how mature you become, never lose the posture of the disciples,
"Lord, teach us to pray."
Scriptures to Reflect On
Luke 11:, "Lord, teach us to pray..."
Matthew 6:9–13 says, "After this manner therefore pray ye: Our Father which art in
heaven, Hallowed be thy name..."
Philippians 4:6–7 says, "...in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let
your requests be made known unto God."
Luke 18:1 tells us, "Men ought always to pray, and not to faint."
1 Thessalonians 5:17 reminds us to "Pray without ceasing."
Hebrews 11:6 says, "But without faith it is impossible to please him..."
Romans 8:26 tells the Believer that "Likewise the Spirit also helpeth our infirmities..."
1 John 5:14, says, "...if we ask any thing according to his will, he heareth us."
Reflect & Respond
Take some time before the Lord and honestly consider these questions:
1. Has prayer become more of a monologue than a dialogue for me?
2. Do I primarily pray when I need something, or am I developing genuine communion with God?
3. Do my prayers begin with God or immediately with my needs?
4. Am I seeking God's will, or asking Him to bless decisions I have already made?
5. Is thanksgiving consistently present in my prayer life?
6. Is there anything I need to confess, repent of, or make right?
7. Is there anyone I need to forgive?
8. Have disappointment or delayed answers caused me to stop praying about something?
9. Is Scripture shaping the way I pray?
10. Am I allowing the Holy Spirit to help me in prayer?
This Week's Challenge
This week, use the pattern Jesus gave in Matthew 6 to guide your prayer time.
Begin with "Our Father." Acknowledge your relationship with God through Jesus Christ.
Move to "Hallowed be Thy name." Before asking for anything, worship Him for who He is.
Pray "Thy Kingdom come. Thy will be done." Surrender your desires and ask God to align your heart with His.
Then pray "Give us this day our daily bread." Bring your needs before Him specifically.
Pray "Forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors." Allow the Holy Spirit to search your heart. Repent where necessary and examine whether you are harboring unforgiveness.
Then pray "Lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil." Ask for discernment,
protection, wisdom, and strength.
And then don't immediately get up. Listen.
Prayer is a dialogue, not a monologue.
Also, write out one specific petition this week.
Search Scripture concerning what you are praying about. Write down what you are asking God for. Include thanksgiving. Include the Scriptures that genuinely apply to the matter. And submit the request to God's will.
Then pray. And keep praying.
