Jesus' Disciples asked Him to teach them how to pray, after observing His unique, deep, and intimate connection with God. In Matthew 6, Jesus teaches us how not to pray first, before giving us a template for approaching God. Jesus gives greater emphasis to how and to whom we pray, before even getting around to what we should pray for. We learn that prayer is more about concentrating on who God is and who we are in Him than it is bringing our works or wishes to Him. At the heart of prayer is an act of surrender. We come before Him seeking His Will and His Kingdom. Only in surrender will we ever obtain the freedom available to us in Christ.
