Day 1: Lord, Teach Us to Pray
“Now it came to pass, as He was praying in a certain place… one of His disciples said to Him, ‘Lord, teach us to pray.’” — Luke 11:1 (NKJV)
The disciples didn’t ask Jesus to teach them how to preach. They didn’t ask how to do miracles or cast out demons. They asked Him one thing: teach us to pray.
They had noticed something. Every breakthrough, every miracle, every moment of power flowed out of Jesus’ prayer life. Prayer wasn’t something Jesus did occasionally—it was the foundation of everything He did.
Prayer is more than words. It’s an invitation. God doesn’t force His way into our lives. He responds to faith-filled prayer. Scripture says He is able to do exceedingly, abundantly more than we ask or imagine—but that means we have to ask. Too often, we pray small prayers because we expect small results.
At the beginning of these 21 days, we’re doing what the disciples did. We’re admitting we need help. We want to pray the right way. We want to pray with faith. And we want to see God move.
Today, don’t worry about saying the “right” words. Simply come to God with humility and hunger. Ask Him to teach you how to pray. Let this season reset your prayer life—not out of obligation, but out of desire.
Take a moment to reflect:
Why do you think prayer has sometimes felt difficult or inconsistent in your life? What do you hope God will teach you during these 21 days?
