The disciples asked Jesus to teach them to pray because they witnessed the transformational power that followed His prayer times. Prayer is more than just asking God for things - it includes worship, thanksgiving, proclamation, and simply spending time in God's presence. Many struggle with prayer because they think it must be long or eloquent, but prayer can happen throughout the day in small moments. What matters most is heart condition, not specific words or duration. When we remain silent in prayer, we allow hell's voice to become louder than our own. Throughout Scripture, every significant move of God is preceded by the phrase when they prayed, not when they gave money or filled buildings.
