As we move from one year to another, many people find themselves hoping for success and direction in the future, and they are often seeking the secret of a divine connection with God. The secret is that there is no secret; it’s been written in the Bible for 2,000 years. If you want to connect and communicate with God in a powerful way, He’s already told us how to do that: prayer.

Jesus taught the disciples how to pray in Luke and Matthew. Praying the exact prayer that Jesus taught is a powerful way to pray. If you believe what you’re saying, it will change you, but that prayer really serves as a pattern for us to follow. This week, we’re breaking down the different sections of that prayer, so we know what to include in our own conversations with God.
