Kindle Notes & Highlights
'Lord, teach us to pray.' Yes, we feel the need now of being taught to pray. At first there is no work appears so simple; later on, none that is more difficult;
Jesus never taught His disciples how to preach, only how to pray.
May a deep sense of my ignorance, of the wonderful privilege and power of prayer, of the need of the Holy Spirit as the Spirit of prayer, lead me to cast away my thoughts of what I think I know, and make me kneel before Thee in true teachableness and poverty of spirit.
In the Old Testament all was shadow and promise; Jesus brought and gives the reality, the substance, of things hoped for.
