“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.’” – Luke 11:1

Paul tells us that we don’t know how to pray as we ought (Rom. 8:26). So the Holy Spirit comes in and helps us.

The Lord here gives us the Model Prayer.

It tells us not only HOW to pray, but also – that we OUGHT to be praying.

Here we have the Trinity: we are praying to the Father, through the Holy Spirit, in the name of the Son.

What a beautiful gift.
