Why Pray? It's Not What You Think (S15 Episode15)

  • Summary

  • The Lord’s Prayer is so ubiquitous in Western culture that the average person on the street could probably recite at least parts of it. In fact, the Lord’s prayer was only taken out of Canadian schools in 1988. That isn’t so long ago…wait…actually, that is. That is 37 years ago. Sheesh, where does the time go, eh? Anywho, Jesus gives us a simple recipe for prayer. Before that, he cautions about using prayer as a publicity stunt or to barter with God. But here is the thing, those two things aren’t our challenge with prayer. Mostly our struggle with prayer is we don’t know WHY we should pray. Does it have utilitarian value? Should that even be the benchmark? We don’t know WHY we should pray, therefore we often don’t know HOW to pray. I hope to offer something of value on this front.
