We will be meditating on New Testament Prayers for some time.

Luke 11:1

KJV. And it came to pass, that, as he was praying in a certain place, when he ceased, one of his disciples said unto him, Lord, teach us to pray, as John also taught his disciples.

The Living Bible. Once when Jesus had been out praying, one of his disciples came to him as he finished and said, “Lord, teach us a prayer to recite just as John taught one to his disciples.”

Why did the disciples of Jesus ask Him to teach them to pray?
What did they observe about His Prayers?
What brought about the reference to John? or were those asking former disciples of John?
How is the new Testament Believer supposed to pray?
