Hudson Taylor

As a young man, Hudson Taylor's first job was working in a shoe store.  He was looking forward to his first paycheck.  The week went by and no pay.  The second and then the third.  He decided not to ask his employer for his pay, but rather he went to the Lord in prayer.  The next day he was given his pay without explanation.  He came to know the power of prayer.

Luke 11:1...

It happened that while [a]Jesus was praying in a certain place, after He had finished, one of His disciples said to Him, “Lord, teach us to pray just as John also taught his disciples.” 

Most of us don't pray as we ought.  I'm burdened in my own life with the lack of it!  May God help us to see that prayer is the key to the Kingdom of God.  May we ask God for the desire to pray.  Why must we be taught?  A question that has plagued every believer.  Isn't it just talking to God?  Whatever the reason it was so important that one of the disciples had to ask Jesus to teach them.  May we do the same.
