Jesus taught that prayer was essential to our life with God, and the very heart of how we move through the world. He said to his disciples “When you pray…” Jesus didn’t say “If you pray…” or “On those occasions you happen to think about prayer…” He wanted his followers to know that the practice of prayer is indispensable, not a nice add-on. Yet, many of us struggle to incorporate prayer as a meaningful rhythm and practice in our day to day lives. We may even feel frustration, guilt, or burdened by the whole practice. In the next few weeks, we want to slow down our pace in the Sermon on the Mount to hear from Jesus how to pray. In this opening section on prayer, we want to zoom out and ask what prayer is, why we do it, and explore the various forms of prayer throughout Scripture.
