Luke 11:1-2
Jesus was praying in a certain place, and when he had finished, one of his disciples said to him, “Lord, teach us to pray just as John taught his disciples.” He said to them, “When you pray, say: Father, hallowed be your name, your kingdom come.”

The disciples of Jesus must have been impressed as they watched Him pray in quiet solitude. They wanted to know how they could have the same intimate connection with God. It takes time and commitment to sit with God in silence. For starters, Jesus gave His followers a prayer that has become known as the “Our Father” or “Lord’s Prayer.” While we can all rattle-off the words to the prayer, we might ask ourselves if we truly mean what we are saying. By the manner that each of us lives…are we building God’s kingdom…or ours?
