When You Pray…

As Jesus enters into the next topic of his ‘sermon’, there is an assumption he makes that “Of course you pray, doesn’t everyone?” Three times in his topic on prayer he begins the sentence with, “When you pray…”. The way he talks, you would almost think that he sees praying much like breathing. “Of course you breathe, doesn’t everyone?” And his caution to us is not so much what we pray, but how and why we pray. When you think about it, who better than Jesus would know what prayer is all about?
