You’d think Jesus was pretty clear in how he answered the question of how not to pray (like the religious leaders of his day) and how we should.

Despite his answer being one of the most famous portions of the entire Bible, you’d think the message would stick. And yet, it’s hard to think of a basic building block of the Christian life we’re better at misconstruing than prayer.

How do we expect to get the results he’s promised to connect to prayer, if we skip the tutorial he gave to us.

You might be able to assemble that Swedish flat-pack bookshelf while ignoring the instructions. But to ignore what the Son of God said when his dunderhead disciples asked him to draw it out for them in crayon so they couldn’t miss the point?

That’s the express bus to frustration, unanswered prayer, and giving up on prayer entirely because it ‘doesn’t work’. There’s a better way.

Let’s unpack what he taught us.

The PERFECT Gift For The Art Loving Warrior

Dear Fellow Warriors: My new book just dropped, GILES VOL. I: The Biblical Warrior Collection. It’s a full color coffee table compilation of my biblical paintings over the last 20yrs. As you know, I don’t depict the biblical men in this book as sweet bearded women but rough troublemakers who shook all of hell’s habitations. It’s a great gift for the male and female scrappy warriors on your Christmas list. Young kids will love it too. 70+ original paintings. 234 pages with the scriptural inspiration behind each painting. It’s a beautiful book.

RECOMMENDATIONS. “One reason I buy Doug’s priceless art is to make bold statements on the walls of my home. Lively discussions come alive to bring home the Gospel messages behind the brushstrokes gifted to Mr. Giles. Pastor Doug’s creativity in canvassing the Biblical perspective is daring and courageous.”
– Captain Robert Reinecker
