Ask with confidence

Personal prayer cycle · Day 8 of 31 · Luke 11:1–13

Read Luke 11:1–13 in your Bible, then take a moment to reflect.

The disciples ask Jesus to teach them to pray. He gives them words of relationship and encourages persistence. Prayer is not a technique for controlling God. It is an encounter in which we learn to ask, receive, and trust the goodness of the Father.

Bring it to prayer

What need have I stopped bringing to prayer?

One act of faith

Pray the Our Father slowly.
