Your kingdom come

Luke 11.1-13

Jesus teaches his disciples how to pray using the words that we call ‘The Lord’s Prayer’. Then he encourages them to persevere in prayer, in all circumstances, trusting that God will provide what is needed – and, in particular, will give the Holy Spirit to those who ask.
This passage raises questions about how prayer is answered. What is meant by ‘daily bread’ or ‘the time of trial’? What do we think we are asking when we say, ‘Your kingdom come’? What if persistence doesn’t seem to lead to answered prayers? Do we always let the Holy Spirit show us the answer to our prayer?

This week we explore the connection between prayer and action.
