"If you want to know something ask an expert." It makes sense then, if you want to learn to pray, to ask the number one expert, Jesus Christ himself. No one in history has ever understood prayer better then Jesus. No one has everbelieved more strongly in the power of prayer, and no one has ever prayed as Hedid. His disciples recognized His expertise. Once they stumbled upon Him while he was praying privately (See Luke 11:1). They were so moved by His earnestness and intensity when He got upfrom His knees one of them asked,"Would you teach us to pray?" They knew in comparison they were novices, first-graders in the school of prayer. Jesus did not object to their question. Instead, He took this as an opportunity to teach them how to pray. See Matthew 6:5-13. No other Scripture tells us so straightforwardly how to pray, and the advice Jesus offered His disciples two thousand years ago applies to all of us today. Prayer - the most powerful tool we have as Christians, yet so often underused or misunderstood. How can we learn to prayeffectively? Christ gave us seven principles, (Matthew 6:9-13) that when followed can change us into people of dynamic faith who have learned the reality of powerful effective prayer that touches every aspect of our lives. We aregoing to learn andpracticethese Biblical Principles of Prayer. In these principles are answers to"prayer problem" we face that can potentially hinder us from experiencing the supernatural benefits of this time spent with God. The disciples said, "Lord, teach us to pray..." Learning and living are two sides of the same coin. Practicingthese principles will change your praying.And your praying will change you. And God will use YOU to change the world!
