Do you like to garden? The truth is that my thumb is probably more brown than it is green. But I still like to work out in the yard. Like a skilled gardener, God works in and through our lives to make us fruitful. And it’s in the context of that relationship we will learn our final lesson about prayer.

I love being a dad. Even through all of the disappointments and heartaches (and expenses!) that comes with it, I still love it. I think God does, too. And understanding the “Fatherliness” of God is a tremendous key to unlocking a rich prayer life.

One of the most humbling questions I get asked is, “So, how’s your prayer life?” Invariably I have to confess that it could be better. But to be fair, that is also the typical response I hear when I ask that same question to others. So, beloved, we need to go to the school of prayer; and who better to teach us than Jesus Himself. That’s the thrust behind our series, “Teach Us to Pray”.
