Hey Campus People,

I want to throw out the challenge for you to read this and come back w/ either your thoughts, or where your prayer life is at, or something in there that will help us or encourage us in some way. Thanks

Luke 11

Jesus' Teaching on Prayer

 1One day Jesus was praying in a certain place. When he finished, one of his disciples said to him, "Lord, teach us to pray, just as John taught his disciples."

 2He said to them, "When you pray, say:
   " 'Father,^[a]
   hallowed be your name,
   your kingdom come.^[b]
 3Give us each day our daily bread.
 4Forgive us our sins,
      for we also forgive everyone who sins against us.^[c]
   And lead us not into temptation.^[d]' "

 5Then he said to them, "Suppose one of you has a friend, and he goes to him at midnight and says, 'Friend, lend me three loaves of bread, 6because a friend of mine on a journey has come to me, and I have nothing to set before him.'

 7"Then the one inside answers, 'Don't bother me. The door is already locked, and my children are with me in bed. I can't get up and give you anything.' 8I tell you, though he will not get up and give him the bread because he is his friend, yet because of the man's boldness^[e] he will get up and give him as much as he needs.

 9"So I say to you: Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you. 10For everyone who asks receives; he who seeks finds; and to him who knocks, the door will be opened.

One thing you may not have considered is that when his disciples were asking Him to teach them to pray, it wasn't like they were unfamiliar w/ prayer. As Jews, they prayed three times a day, sunrise, midday, and sunset. Your thoughts?
