Lord, Teach Us to Pray
By Rev.
Kenneth E. Hagin
"And
it came to pass, that, as he was praying in a certain place, when he
ceased, one of his disciples said unto him, Lord, teach us to pray"
(Luke 11:1).
Someone said, "It is more important that men learn to pray than that
they gain a college education." Notice he did not say that having an
education is not important; he said, that learning to pray is more
important.
I feel sorry for people who don't know how to pray. When the crises of
life come, they know how to say words, but just spouting off words into
the atmosphere isn't praying!
Simply talking into the air is not praying. Taking up 20 minutes on a
Sunday morning giving God a homily on what His duties are toward the
church is not praying. And giving the congregation a lecture pretending
to be praying to God is not praying.
Christianity, from a practical side, is a living religion whose
believers are in touch with the living God who hears and answers prayer.
And prayer may be defined as joining forces with God the Father,
fellowshipping with Him, carrying out His will upon the earth.
It is of utmost importance that all Christians - including you - learn
how to pray!
Confession: I am in touch with the living God who hears and answers
prayer. I fellowship with Him. I join forces with Him in carrying out
His will upon the earth.
