Luke 11:1-4; NKJV
11 Now it came to pass, as He was praying in a certain place, when He ceased, that one of His disciples said to Him, "Lord, teach us to pray, as John also taught his disciples."
2 So He said to them, "When you pray, say:
Our Father in heaven,
Hallowed be Your name.
Your kingdom come.
Your will be done
On earth as it is in heaven.
3 Give us day by day our daily bread.
4 And forgive us our sins,
For we also forgive everyone who is indebted to us.
And do not lead us into temptation,
But deliver us from the evil one."
Notice that the disciple didn't ask Jesus, "Lord, teach us how to pray." The disciple asked Jesus, "Lord, teach us to pray." Consider the difference.
Do not long to know how to pray. Long to pray!
