Life in the Kingdom - Prayer

The theologian Scot McKnight once said, “prayer is as human as breathing” and I think there’s a lot of truth in that. Most everyone, regardless of religion or lack thereof, prays…or at least has prayed. There’s something in us that feels the need to reach out in prayer, even if we’re not sure who or what is “out there” to hear the prayers. Even with this innate drive to pray, there is a lot of confusion and questions when it comes to prayer. Fortunately, Jesus gives us some guidance right here in the middle of the Sermon on the Mount.
