Prayer is central to the Christian life. But as strange as it might seem, how to pray effectively is not practiced by most Christians. Jesus' disciples asked Jesus to teach them how to pray. Jesus responded with what we now call "The Lord's Prayer." However, the prayer Jesus taught all Christians to pray was more than a ritual to recite. Jesus gave us powerful principles or keys to unlock the secret of praying to have all our prayers answered all the time. Jesus told His disciples that they could ask anything in His name, and he would give it to them. Why then, do so many of our prayers go unanswered? When we pray the way Jesus taught us to pray, our prayers will never go unanswered.
