Luke 11:1–13 | The Way of Prayer

“Lord, teach us to pray…” (v.1)

• Why do you pray the way you do?
• Is your view of God shaping your prayer life—or is your experience shaping your view of God?
• Could it be that what you believe about who you pray to matters more than how you pray?

“Give us each day…” (v.3)

• What are you reaching for when life gets hard—a prescription or persistence?
• Do you want solutions more than you want to walk with the Solution-Giver?
• Could the daily repetition of prayer be God’s gift, not His delay?

“I have nothing to set before him…” (v.6)

• Are you coming to God with demands, or with dependence?
• What if God isn’t looking for strength in your prayers, but surrender?
• Can you have the right words, the right discipline… and still the wrong heart?

“How much more will the Father give the Holy Spirit…” (v.13)

• What if the thing you’re asking for isn’t really what your soul needs?
• What if God answers every prayer—by giving you more of Himself?
• Is it possible you’ve been knocking on the wrong door?

• What do I really want when I pray?
• Do I see prayer as access to God, or access to answers?
• Have I mistaken God’s silence for His absence?
• Would I be satisfied with getting what I asked for—but not getting more of Him?
