The Power of Prayer - Rev. Dr. Rodger Nishioka

As the disciples journey with Jesus, they see and hear him praying and ask him to teach them to pray. His gift to them and to us is what we now call “The Lord’s Prayer.” So, we join every Sunday with believers in every time and place in heaven and on earth to pray as Jesus taught us. There is great power in this. There is power in speaking directly to God. There is power in joining with one another. Yet even when words fail us, the Holy Spirit helps us to pray, even praying on our behalf. Our scripture readings are Matthew 6:7-13 and Luke 11:1-4.
