“To be a Christian without prayer is no more possible than to be alive without breathing.” Martin Luther
Take a deep breath and exhale. Refreshing, right? Breathing is very complex but is primarily a subconscious activity. There is a danger in familiarity. We may become casual in our relationship with God, taking His presence for granted. Prayer is a lifeline for believers God designed to build our relationship with Him and others. He created it to be an ongoing conversation starting with Him speaking to us through His Word and then us responding in prayer. Spiritual vitally begins with inhaling truth and exhaling prayers.
Jesus gathered a group so they could learn how to pray together. We want to invite you to gather a group to study, pray, and live out the Lord’s Prayer together. Our grand purpose is to consider in the context of community what it might look like if the words of the Lord’s Prayer were written over every aspect of our lives, homes, work, church, and community—to spend time together unpacking how our position in Christ impacts our posture in prayer. Let’s slow down this summer, catch our breath to read and pray through this short passage. We will be amazed at the rich learning-layers as we gaze at the multifaceted truths together.
