teaching prayer

Luke 11:1
1One 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."

Who taught you to pray? Mom? Dad? Grandma? Who? When the disciples ask Jesus to teach them, it doesn’t mean they never prayed or had never seen prayer. They are really asking to pray more effectively. They are asking for a better, “how?” And he gives them what they need.

Think of some parents of small children that you know and pray for them throughout the day.
