Teach us how to pray…

Some seasons, some days are just hard, words just can’t be found to describe the pain, frustration, or even joy that we feel.  It’s hard to express and talk to God when your soul is just aching, bored, tired, or overwhelmed. Jesus gave us the answer in Luke 11 when his disciples said, “Lord, teach us to pray, as John taught his disciples.”  And Jesus answered them with this, “When you pray, say: Father, hallowed be your name. Your kingdom come. Give us each day our daily bread, and forgive us our sins, for we ourselves forgive everyone who is indebted to us. And lead us not into temptation.” ESV

It seems so simple, right?! How could this simple prayer be “enough” to communicate with such a big God. He doesn’t call us to big elaborate prayer. He just wants us. He just wants to hear from You.
