In Luke 11 (Part 1) Jesus concerns Himself with conveying to us what the character of our prayer life should be. The early Christians were known to greet one another with the words “do I find you praying…” If the disciples were in fact men and women of prayer, then the prayer they emulated was found in the prayer life of Jesus, witnessed by the apostles, taught upon extensively by Jesus Himself, and passed down to you and me. Do I find you praying? If you are found in prayer, are you praying according to the pattern that Jesus taught, or some other form of prayer not reflective of what Jesus would expect from us in our prayer endeavors.
