Praying as Jesus Taught Us to Pray

This book is for anyone who struggles in knowing how to pray. The

book explores the Lord’s Prayer - the how-to-pray guide that Jesus

taught in response to an unnamed disciple’s request, “Lord, teach us to

pray.” The book develops the structure of the prayer - the address, the

first three petitions about God, and the last three petitions dealing with

the stuff of our lives - identifying the spiritual truths upon which each

section is built. It shows how those spiritual truths speak to our anxiety

and worries about the present, our guilt, regret, and shame about the

past, and our fears about the not-yet-experienced future. Treating the

prayer Jesus taught as a how-to-pray guide, the book shows us how our

experience of prayer can become more meaningful and fulfilling - a way

of connecting with God as we grow spiritually into the likeness of Christ.
