Teach us to pray' How do we grow in our relationship with the Lord? One of the ways we grow in that relationship is by prayer. Yet we have to admit that we do not always know what to pray or how to pray. Setting apart time to pray was important to Jesus. To help Jesus provided a pattern for prayer in what we call today 'The Lord's Prayer'. Through the study and the petitions you will learn more about the heavenly Father whom we address in prayer.
