this request from one of the disciples in Luke 11:1 gave evidence of real spiritual insight. we must learn how to pray. while praying is as natural to the christian as breathing is to a mammal, even breathing must be studied and practiced if it is to be correct. Singers and speakers work on there breathing so that they get the most out of there voice and don't injure themselves. the fact that we have been praying since childhood is no guarantee that we really know how to pray effectively
