1.8 A Paradigm for Prayer

Prayer is not part of the work – it is the work

A prayer movement always precedes a disciple-making movement

LUKE 11:1-4, MATTHEW 6:9-13

• Jesus repeats the prayer when they ask him to teach them (Luke 11)
• The final parts emphasise our spiritual warfare
• “Lead us not…” is the language of protection (not guidance)

KEY IDEAS

1. Prayer is not part of the work – it is the work
2. Focus is God’s character and nature – relationship not formula
3. A simple framework to learn and pray

ACTION
“BLINK”: Focus on one part of the prayer.

“STICK”: Pray through the prayer until one part stands out.
