Holy Spirit, teach us how to pray.

"Your Father knows what you need before you ask him."  (Matthew 6: 8)

"Your will be done, on earth as in heaven." (Matthew 6: 10).

"Give us today our daily bread." (Matthew 6: 11).

"Forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors." (Matthew 6: 12)

The above Scripture verses are lifted from Jesus' teaching on Prayer.  Jesus did not teach anywhere that hard work is a necessity. But He taught expressly that Prayer is a vital necessity.  (Cf Luke 18: 1).  Investing time and resources to learn how to pray is perhaps the most rewarding experience.

Abba Father promises to answer our prayers:  "If you then, who are wicked, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will the Father in heaven give the holy Spirit to those who ask him?”  (Luke 11: 13).

But why are our prayers sometimes not successful?

"You ask but do not receive, because you ask wrongly, to spend it on your passions."  (James 4: 3).

Father, give us Your Holy Spirit to teach us how to pray.
