Series: When You PrayScripture: Luke 11:1-4

“Our natural desire to pray comes from Creation. We are made in the image of God. Our inability to pray comes from

the Fall. Evil has marred the image. We want to talk to God but can’t. The friction of our desire to pray, combined with

our badly damaged antennae, leads to constant frustration. It’s as if we’ve had a stroke.”

Paul Miller

“The only way to pray is to pray. The only way to pray well is to pray much.”

Dom John Chapman

“Believers do not pray with the view of informing God about things unknown to him, or of exciting him to do his

duty, or of urging him as though he were reluctant. On the contrary, they pray in order that they may arouse

themselves to seek him, that they may exercise their faith in meditating on his promises, that they may relieve

themselves from their anxieties by pouring them into his bosom; in a word, that they may declare that from him alone

they can hope and expect, both for themselves and for others, all good things.”
