Anything that encourages disciples of Jesu to pray is good. So beside warning us not to pray to get the attention or approval of others, Jesus teaches us how to pray. At least, he gives us a prayer to model our prayers after. Often called the Lord's Prayer it is better called the Disciple's Prayer for that is who is meant to pray it.

Since we know Jesus himself prayed in a variety of ways, this prayer serves not as one to repeat verbatim, but one to learn from, which is what we'll try to do in this message. How can we learn to pray in Jesus' way?
