Jesus teaches prayer as a relationship with the Father, rather than a performance for an audience. You do not need impressive words to begin. Read His teaching slowly. Notice the place given to daily needs, forgiveness, and the good of others.
A question to sit with
What would you say to God if you stopped trying to sound religious?
Pray
Father, here I am. Help me to speak honestly and to listen with humility. Teach me to pray today. Amen.
Carry it into the day
Take one quiet minute and say one honest sentence to God.
