We will ever stand with the disciples in need of Your instruction, Lord Jesus: "Teach us to pray." Your prayer was so simple and yet so profound. It was not wordy, but it said so much. It was reverent but intimate, and audacious in its asking. Too often we are impressed with our own words. Forgive us. Or, we believe our lack of eloquence matters to you. Forgive us.

In the Name of Jesus we ask. Amen....  Read More
