Have you ever noticed that the only thing that the first followers of Jesus are recorded to have asked him to teach them is, "Lord, teach us to pray" (Luke 11:1)? They could have asked him to teach them how to heal, how to teach, how to lead, how to care - but they chose to ask Him how to pray.

So Jesus leads and teaches His disciples, and us, to pray. This simple prayer, known to many of us as The Lord's Prayer, is comprehensive in scope and radical in nature. It is a prayer that when prayed in faith can change the world. The Lord's Prayer is an amazing gift that Jesus has given us because it frees us from the anxiety of whether or not we are praying correctly, it reveals the heart and agenda of God and it invites those that pray it into partnership with God for fulfilling his purposes on earth.
