Prayer isn't meant to feel complicated or formal. We don't have to follow a script or a specific formula to talk with God. Like any healthy relationship, the goal is connection. Practicing different ways to pray simply helps us grow in that connection and become more aware of God's presence in our everyday lives.
This guide is designed to help you build a rhythm of daily prayer over 21 days as we explore The Lord's Prayer together. When Jesus' disciples asked Him to teach them to pray, He gave them this simple yet profound prayer that has shaped Christian prayer for centuries. Each day includes a short devotional that unpacks a phrase or theme from The Lord's Prayer, four prayer prompts, a simple "one step" challenge, and a brief prayer to pray aloud or silently. We've also created short video teachings from our pastors that correspond with each day's focus, offering additional insight and encouragement to deepen your understanding of how Jesus taught us to pray.
The goal isn't perfection or checking a box. The goal is to regularly enter God's presence and stay close to Him. You can engage with the daily prayer time on its own, watch the video first for context, or revisit the teaching throughout the day, whatever helps you connect with God. If you miss a day, don't feel pressure to catch up, just start again. God is already glad to meet you right where you are.
Prayer can absolutely take commitment and discipline, especially when you're building it into a daily habit. But we also want to remember this is a "get to," not a "got to." Because of Jesus, we get to come to God with honesty, hope, and confidence. Prayer is a privilege, not a burden. It's an open invitation to draw near to the God who loves you.
