“Now Jesus was praying in a certain place, and when he finished, one of his disciples said to him, “Lord, teach us to pray, as John taught his disciples.” Luke 11:1 ESV

A disciple saw that when Jesus prayed, good things—powerful things—happened. He asked Jesus to teach him to pray. The disciple wasn’t exactly asking for a script, he wanted to know how to unlock the power of prayer. Do you struggle in prayer? Do you find that many of your prayers are unanswered? Would you like that to change—not that you’d give up praying, or stop praying big, but that you would see your big prayers actually answered? Jesus gave the disciples a blueprint for prayer that provides for an abundant life, that is, a life filled with meaning, purpose, provision, forgiveness, protection, grace, and more. If you want answered prayer and an abundant life, unlock the script. It begins by being curious and asking, “Lord, teach me to pray.” Then, stop your activity and listen to Jesus. “Now Jesus was praying in a certain place, and when he finished, one of his disciples said to him, “Lord, teach us to pray, as John taught his disciples.” Luke 11:1 ESV

. . . “Jesus gave a blueprint for prayer that results in an abundant life . . . it begins by being curious.”
