In a season where prayer often feels confusing, disappointing, or out of reach, the disciples’ simple request—“Lord, teach us to pray”—remains our own. Jesus responds not with performance or perfection, but with an invitation into trust, presence, and relationship, addressing the barriers of disappointment, distraction, and discipline that so often shape our prayer lives. Through the Lord’s Prayer, we learn that prayer is both structured and flexible, honest and hopeful, rooted in God’s care for our daily needs and His desire to set the world right.
