Reading Luke 11 today, the chapter starts,
"One day Jesus was praying in a certain place. When he finished, one of his disciples said to him, "Lord, teach us to pray, just as John taught his disciples." (NIV)
Sometimes we just skip ahead in this scripture to get to the "meat" of it.
The Lord's prayer. Even people who don't read the bible regularly, those who don't memorize Scripture, know this prayer.
But before reading on, think about this first verse. Read it again.
"One day Jesus was praying in a certain place. When he finished, one of his disciples said to him, "Lord, teach us to pray, just as John taught his disciples."
Just hearing Jesus pray caused his disciples to ask him to teach them.
Do you know anyone like that today?
Are you that kind of person? Someone whose prayer life inspires others to desire more just by hearing you pray?
What was it about Jesus' prayers that lead his disciples to ask?
I'm challenged by this thought, where are the prayer warriors today?
Something to think about?
