And it came to pass, that, as he was praying in a certain place, when he ceased, one of his disciples said unto him, Lord, teach us to pray, as John also taught his disciples. Luke 11:1
Dr. Luke, as follower of our LORD JESUS CHRIST, followed Jesus during His earthly ministry as Prophet, teacher and Healer. Yet, Luke record this message about prayer.
Luke saw the curiosity of the disciples about prayer.
I have heard this passage preached and taught many times over the past many years and one lesson is very prevalent, "LORD teach TO PRAY"
It is not necessarily asking the "how to" but asking "teach us to pray"
Obviously, the disciples saw and heard JESUS their Master pray and call on Jesus's Father. So as similar to desiring a cool drink of water to satisfy their thirst, the disciples wanted in on prayer and praying.
And if the disciple wanted on this, how much more do we , as Christians, children of GOD need this also. SO LORD "teach us to pray" Amen
Rev Dan
