Four Prayers That Don’t Work

Our prayers say something about our faith. In the Gospel of Luke, Jesus addresses some fundamental aspects of prayer, empowering us to speak to God more boldly and more honestly. Sometimes we feel anxious about “how to pray” or we have a fear of “praying wrong,” but Luke 17-18 seeks to alleviate those fears and show us that prayer is ultimately a way of practicing dependence upon God.
