When the disciples had that opportunity, they did not ask Jesus to teach them how to preach, lead, or perform miracles. Instead, after watching His consistent and powerful prayer life, they simply said in Luke 11:1, “Lord, teach us to pray.” Their request reveals that prayer is not something we naturally understand, but something we must learn. Many believers know about prayer, yet struggle to develop a meaningful and consistent prayer life. The encouraging truth is that Jesus was willing to teach His disciples, and He still desires to teach us today.
