This is the only time we see in the Bible where Jesus’ disciples asked him to teach them something: “Teach us to pray…” (in Luke 11:1)

Why can prayer be such a struggle:
· We lost the wonder of God.
· We don’t feel like we are good at it.
· We don’t see the benefits.
· We just don’t make it a priority.

Prayer is a personal encounter with God.

Three Types of Prayer:
· Connecting (Contemplative) Prayer – Entering God’s presence through silence and calming your soul
· Intercessory Prayer – Praying for other people or for God to move
· Petition Prayer – Asking God for what we need

A Fresh Start to Re-engage with Prayer:
· Do not evaluate yourself
· Start Small
