People all over the world are praying. Depending on which statistics you read, as many as nine out of ten adults claim that they pray on a regular basis – but does it really work? How do we know if someone is really listening?
Prayer can be incredibly satisfying, or it can honestly be frustrating at times. Sometimes we feel connected to the God who created and loves us, but other times it feels like we are talking to an empty room. When Jesus taught his disciples to pray it was surprisingly simple and incredibly practical. He didn’t treat prayer like a code you had to crack or a puzzle to be solved – He simply explained and modeled the fact that it was communication with your Father. No fancy words or difficult theological concepts needed – God just wants to hear from you and then to be heard. |
