Title:
William H. Willimon - "Teach Us to Pray" (July 27, 1986)
Description:

  • Sermon start time: (Part 1) 33:17. Sermon end time: (Part 2) 5:20.

  • Christian prayers are not means of auto-suggestion and self-therapy, nor speeches that are addressed to oneself to have one’s will be done. True Christian prayer is seeking for God’s kingdom and will be done, desiring what God desires, conversing with God, and finding strength to live on even with the absence of answers. We don’t instinctually know how to pray. Learning to pray transforms our prayers from “give me, give me” to “make me, make me”. (Abstract created by Duke Divinity School staff.)
