Lord teach us to pray. -Luke 11:1

The disciples asked Jesus how to pray and he gave them the Lord’s prayer as a model.  For many people 

these days, including me, prayer is difficult.  We are so focused on doing that we have forgotten how to 

be.  The Quakers conceptualize prayer and worship through what is called “centering down”. This time 

of silence is used for focusing the mind and body on authentic communion with God.  In order to have 

abundance in life, we have to go the Source! So communion with God is the most important aspect of 

prayer, but what does it do? It does at least two things: it helps us regain perspective and it helps us 

declare God’s dominion over this world.  Dietrich Bonheoffer kind of humorously states how he regains 

perspective through prayer, “I can no longer condemn or hate a brother for whom I pray, no matter 

how much trouble he causes me.”  Prayer gives us the same priorities as our Father, like not hating a 

brother.  Second, prayer gives us loving dominion over this world.  In a world where evil and struggle is 

everywhere, feeling out of control is only natural.  But as we pray to our all-powerful Father, we regain 

some his power and push back the evil in this world.  Prayer accomplishes things in this world by tying 

our hands together and letting God show his powerful hand.
