Listen to, "Prayer Myths" by Greg Sidders / Sunday 04-21-13
Who taught you how to pray?
There are many factors that influence our thoughts and feelings about prayer, but perhaps none is more significant than the source of our training. The best prayer coach, by far, is Jesus, and to whatever extent those whose prayers have shaped ours are out of alignment with His teachings, we have missed prayer at its best.
In this message, we're going to get re-aligned by remembering what Jesus had to say about prayer. I hope it will give you fresh motivation to talk to God, who loves to listen to the kind of prayers His Son taught us to pray.
