In the gospels, Jesus teaches much about prayer – that God is our Father, that we can approach him directly, and that prayer thrives when done with simplicity, confidence, and persistence. Jesus also showed us many ways to pray – in solitude and with friends, in wordless contemplation and humble intercession, and always with an attitude of obedience to his Father’s will. All these are lessons for people who seek a more enriching prayer experience.Author George Martin shows us how to read the gospels for precious insight into prayer and teaches us how to pray as Jesus prayed .
