What is prayer, why do our prayers matter, and how should we pray? In Matthew 6:5-15, Jesus lays out the key foundational principles about prayer. In this devotional, we will dive into His teaching and work to apply it to our daily prayer life. 

Prayer 101

Matthew’s Gospel is structured around five discourses, the first being the Sermon on the Mount. More than ethical instruction, the Sermon on the Mount invites us into a new way of being human. This new way of life represents a reversal of typical societal values, encouraging humans to live at the overlap of heaven and earth, organizing their lives around trust in God’s authority and service for the vulnerable.
