Praying as Jesus Taught Us to Pray: Reflecting on the Lord's Prayer (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781698717791)

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.
