Sunday in Review

If You Could Ask God For Anything Luke 11:1-13

The quality of our spiritual lives will never rise and consistently stay any higher than the quality of our prayer lives. Do you have a regular time and place to pray?

If not, why not make today the first day of your new prayer life with our Father?

The Pattern - vs. 11:1a “a certain place to pray” The Petition - vs. 11:1b “Lord, teach us to pray” The Prayer - vs. 11:2-4 “Our relationships, responsibilities, and requests” The Parables - vs. 11:5-8, 11-12 “Teaches us Persistence and Assurance”

God always answers our prayers. His answers are always best.
