Jesus knew that prayerlessness is a common human failing, and so His lesson to His disciples has become our model for prayer. Pastor Philip Ryken looks at the power and truth within each phrase of The Lord's Prayer and, through his warm approach, examples and illustrations, connects with the hearts of readers and encourages them to increased intercession. As Ryken states, "The more we study the Lord's Prayer, the more we pray, the more deeply we are drawn into communion with God." And this is how the Lord's Prayer becomes our own. Includes a complete study guide.

Description

"Lord, teach us to pray."

Christ's answer to His disciples' request has become the model prayer and still teaches us today, for through its beautiful simplicity the Lord's Prayer touches all of life. It expresses our need for salvation, our very dependence on our Heavenly Father for breath and bread, and it leads us in singing our praise and thanks. Its words are few, yet it is a prayer overflowing with treasures of wisdom and encouragement for your everyday life.

Philip Ryken looks at the power and truth within each phrase of the Lord's Prayer, draws them together with other biblical passages, and shows how you can make this prayer your own. His warm approach, examples, and illustrations will enrich your heart and strengthen your prayer life, for the more you study the Lord's Prayer, the better you are able to pray. And the more you pray, the more deeply you are drawn into communion with God.
