Brian Johnston explains how prayer can feel difficult, dry, or duty-like, and encourages perseverance with help from God. The opening chapter frames the Lord’s Prayer as “the disciple’s prayer,” highlighting its meaning, its foundation in relationship with God, and the initial focus on addressing God as “Our Father in heaven.”",{"@graph":69,"@context":122},[70,84,105],{"@type":71,"itemListElement":72},"BreadcrumbList",[73,77,79,82],{"item":74,"name":75,"@type":76,"position":8},"https://docshare.wps.com","Home","ListItem",{"item":78,"name":9,"@type":76,"position":14},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/",{"item":80,"name":45,"@type":76,"position":81},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/religion-spirituality/",3,{"item":83,"name":65,"@type":76,"position":19},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/learning-to-pray-from-the-lords-prayer-chapter-one-hallowed-be-your-name/295577/",{"url":83,"name":65,"@type":85,"image":86,"author":91,"headline":65,"publisher":94,"fileFormat":97,"inLanguage":63,"description":67,"dateModified":98,"datePublished":99,"encodingFormat":97,"isAccessibleForFree":100,"interactionStatistic":101},"DigitalDocument",{"url":87,"@type":88,"width":89,"height":90},"https://docshare.wps.com/thumbnails/learning-to-pray-from-the-lords-prayer-chapter-one-hallowed-be-your-name/295577.png","ImageObject",300,407,{"name":92,"@type":93},"Bulrr","Person",{"url":74,"name":95,"@type":96},"DocShare","Organization","application/pdf","2026-10-06","2026-09-18",true,{"@type":102,"interactionType":103,"userInteractionCount":39},"InteractionCounter",{"@type":104},"ViewAction",{"@type":106,"mainEntity":107},"FAQPage",[108,114,118],{"name":109,"@type":110,"acceptedAnswer":111},"Why is the book’s approach to prayer described as practical?","Question",{"text":112,"@type":113},"It treats prayer as something fundamental to daily Christian life and explores how to engage in prayer when it does not come naturally.","Answer",{"name":115,"@type":110,"acceptedAnswer":116},"How does the text explain the meaning of “The Lord’s Prayer”?",{"text":117,"@type":113},"It is presented as a model or guide intended for disciples, emphasizing principles that guide a true disciple’s prayer life rather than mindless repetition.",{"name":119,"@type":110,"acceptedAnswer":120},"What does “Our Father in heaven” emphasize at the beginning of the model prayer?",{"text":121,"@type":113},"It reminds believers of their position on earth and God’s authority in heaven, and frames prayer through a relationship with God as “Father.”","https://schema.org",{"og:url":83,"og:type":124,"og:title":65,"og:site_name":95,"og:description":67},"article",{"robots":126,"canonical":83},"index,follow",{"doc_id":128,"site_id":62},295577,1790424842,{"code":4,"msg":5,"data":131},{"doc_id":128,"user_id":132,"nickname":92,"user_avatar":133,"doc_module":4,"category_id":44,"category_name":45,"doc_title":65,"doc_description":67,"doc_content":134,"file_id":135,"file_url":136,"file_type":137,"file_size":138,"view_count":39,"is_deleted":4,"is_public":8,"is_downloadable":8,"audit_status":8,"page_count":139,"language":140,"language_code":63,"site_id":62,"html_lang":63,"table_of_contents":141,"faqs":142,"seo_title":143,"seo_description":67,"update_tm":144,"read_time":145},5909892115043,"https://ap-avatar.wpscdn.com/davatar_6f874abed73319feea01a86fa6f0fab8","LEARNING TO PRAY –  \nFROM THE LORD’S PRAYER  \nBY BRIAN JOHNSTON  \nCopyright © Hayes Press 2017  \nAll rights reserved.

It is something that is so basic, so fundamental to our daily lives as Christians, isn’t it? What the hymn says is certainly true: ‘Prayer is the Christian’s vital breath, The Christian’s native air.’  \nBut that does not always mean that it comes naturally, as easy as breathing. The Bible itself recognizes there will be times when we do not know how to pray as we ought. And if you are like me from time to time you will be jolted into realising just how shallow your prayer life has become. There may well be times too when we feel spiritually dry and not at all in the right frame of mind for praying. Of course, these are the times when we need prayer all the more. If we persevere with the discipline of prayer even when it feels more like a duty than genuine devotion, and take our problem in this regard to God and ask His special help, we soon find the exercise once more becomes a delight. If you are longing for more purpose in prayer, more joy, more intimacy, more sense of His presence then stay with us as we invite the Lord Jesus, the supreme Teacher and supreme exponent of prayer, to share its secret with us.  \nThat’s exactly what He did in Luke chapter 11, you remember. It was then, after He had finished praying, that the disciples asked  \nLEARNING HOW TO PRAY-FROM THE LORD'S  \nPRAYER 3  \nHim to teach them to pray. Think of it for a moment. These same disciples had heard the Lord preach some wonderful sermons. The Sermon on the Mount has been called the most beautiful and profound discourse ever given on the art of living. But it isnot recorded that the disciples ever asked the Lord to teach them how to preach, but they did ask Him to teach them to pray. We can only imagine how awe-inspiring it must have been to listen to the Lord speak to His Father in heaven. No wonder they said:‘Lord teach us to pray.’  \nIn response to their request that day the Lord gave them what is usually referred to as \"The Lord’s Prayer.” Perhaps, it would be more meaningful to label it ‘The Disciple’s Prayer’ since it is intended as a model or guide for disciples. Of course, it was not the Lord’s intention that just anyone should mindlessly repeat it whenever they wished to seek God’s favour. But rather that its principles could be sensitively used to guide a true disciple in his or her prayer life.
