Prayer is an invitation to turn off the noise. To shut down the phone, ignore the emails and enter a conversation with someone who loves you. In Luke 11 Jesus’ disciples are so moved by his commitment to prayer they ask, “Can you teach us to do that?” Jesus goes on to give them a prayer that includes insight into how God feels about us and how we should approach him. A prayer that confronts our misconceptions, quiets our anxious fears and recenters us on what matters most.
