How do I pray when I don’t know how to pray?

"Lord, teach us to pray." This request comes from an unnamed disciple in the Gospel of Luke (Luke 11:1). Although Jesus' response to this request is what we call the Lord's Prayer, the whole of the Bible is God's full response to the request to learn how to pray. Prayer is hard, strange, and mysterious. God does not leave us alone in the difficulty - he gives us the Bible as a script for our conversation with him.

The prayers in this book all come from a Denver Institute podcast called Teach us to Pray. Each prayer references the Bible passage it is based on, and also includes a link to that Teach us to Pray episode.
