One day, Jesus was praying in a certain place. The disciples were obviously watching Jesus. They seem curious and inspired. So, they ask him, Lord, teach us to pray. Teach us to do what you were just doing. And he does.   As you meditate on Luke 11, a version of what we often call “The Lord's Prayer,” allow the Spirit to help you notice something from these words that applies to your own life.   Once you've listened to this Scripture Experience podcast, head over to the next episode and listen to the interview with pastor and poet Drew Jackson. We discuss all this poetry – including when and why Drew started writing poetry and how it helps him slow down and notice God. He also recites some of his poetry for us, including a poem that comes from this passage.   You can find Jodie at http://www.jodieniznik.com/ Instagram @creatingspaceforgod Facebook @JodieGNiznik Download free sample chapters from my Bible studies here.   The exact verses read in this podcast are printed here for your use: Luke 11:1-4, NIV One day Jesus was praying in a certain place. When he finished, one of his disciples said to him, “Lord, teach us to pray, just as John taught his disciples.” 2 He said to them, “When you pray, say: “ ‘Father, hallowed be your name, your kingdom come. 3 Give us each day our daily bread. 4 Forgive us our sins, for we also forgive everyone who sins against us. And lead us not into temptation.' ”See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
