我们的基督信仰其实是超自然的，但也是符合我们人的实际与逻辑性。对很多信徒来说，他们欠缺了对基督信仰的超自然认识，因此他们不喜爱祷告，也不期待祷告之后会蒙受的应允。每当他们面对一些急迫的问题，宁可留在担忧与无助里，也不懂得跪在主的面前呼求祂。有时，他们就算是有祷告的动作与形式，但那些的祷告并没有使他们过后能更加的依靠主。另外，也有一些信徒像是花上很多的时间祷告。他们常常想在祷告中进到一种情景交融的状态，像是“享受神的同在”，但是他们在祷告之后并没有在灵性与悟性增长。他们对神的美意还不是很清楚，就是在生活处事待人中还是缺乏很多的智慧。因此，他们的信仰给周围人的感觉就很像是一种的迷信与盲信。这些人的共同点主要是在祷告上出现了问题。其实，很多信徒在祷告的事上常感到很亏欠，他们因无法与神真实的交通而感到内疚。他们可能很殷勤的服侍主，或者常常读一些信仰方面的文章或参考书，但是他们心里知道自己不能亲近主，也不懂得怎么亲近。他们在祷告当中没有什么可说的，也无法向主倾心吐意。最关键的是他们在祷告中得不着主的回应。他们的心境在祷告之前与之后没有分别。久而久之，他们就不祷告了。其实，不管我们的灵命成长到什么地步，我们的祷告生活都有成长的余地。无论是在祷告中多亲近神、多明白主的旨意，或多得到主所赐的能力与智慧，这些都是能成长的方面。但我们晓得若祷告只是因义务而做，那我们越祷告就渐渐越不想祷告了。其实，当我们问一般信徒，“你们为何不祷告呢？”有些会说因为没有时间，或是自己不够纪律。当然，这是一般信徒给的很直接原因。但其实，信徒不祷告的最大原因是因为不知道怎么祷告。只要是信主一段时间的信徒都知道祷告不是形式，不是自言自语，也不是背诵一些字句来向神祷告，但是对于怎么祷告，他们却还是一知半解。因此，门徒有一天来到主耶稣面前请求祂说，“求主教导我们怎么祷告”。试想，门徒是天天从早到晚都与主耶稣在一起，该学的都学了，该看的都看了。但他们还是有一样东西学不会，且是他们极其渴望的，那就是「祷告」。因为他们亲眼目睹主是怎么向父祷告，而祂的祷告不是形式，也不是虚构的。他们看见主耶稣是真实的享受与父的交通，祂的祷告跟法利赛人那假冒伪善的祷告，或是用那美丽的字眼的祷告是绝然不同的。主耶稣的祷告是实际的从父得着一切的恩惠与能力。主在地上所有荣耀的服侍都是与祂和父之间的联结有关系的。每当一天忙碌的服侍完毕，主耶稣最喜爱的就是离开众人，退到祂时常朝见父的山上去，与父交通。相比之下，门徒可能发现自己在祷告上没有得着这么多恩惠，并且每天的服侍完毕之后只有感到疲累，有时甚至遇到一些消极的处境而变得焦虑或血气。因此，门徒很渴望认识他们的主是怎么向父祷告。

Our Christian faith is actually supernatural, but it also fits well with reality and human logic. Many believers lack the understanding of such a supernatural Christian faith, so they do not love to pray and do not anticipate answers after praying. Whenever they face some pressing problems, they rather stay in worries and helplessness, than to come before the Lord and call upon Him. Sometimes, even if they have the actions and forms of prayer, those prayers do not result in them trusting more in the Lord later. In addition, some believers seem to spend a lot of time praying. Often in prayers, they will project their feelings into the setting, as if “enjoying the presence of God”, but they do not grow in their spirituality and understanding after praying. They are still not very clear about God's perfect will, in that they still lack a lot of wisdom in handling matters and people in life. Hence, their beliefs feel like superstition and blind faith to the people around them. The commonality of these people is that they mainly have problems in prayer. In fact, many believers often feel that they have fallen short in their prayers. They are guilty because they cannot truly commune with God. They may serve the Lord diligently, or they often read articles or reference books on faith, but they know in their hearts that they cannot be close to the Lord, and also do not know how to get close. They have nothing to say during prayer, neither can they pour out their hearts to the Lord. The most important thing is that they cannot receive the Lord's response in prayer. The state of their heart is the same before and after prayer. As time passes, they stop praying. In fact, regardless of the extent of growth of our spiritual life, our prayer life has room for growth. Whether it is to draw closer to God in prayer, to understand more of the will of the Lord, or to gain more strength and wisdom from the Lord, these are all areas where we can grow. But we know that if prayer is done only out of duty, then as we pray more, we gradually do not feel like praying. In fact, when we ask believers in general, “Why don't you pray?” Some people may say it is because there is no time, or they themselves lack discipline. Of course, these are very direct reasons given by believers in general. But in fact, the greatest reason why believers do not pray is because they do not know how to pray. Believers who have known the Lord for a period of time will know that prayer is not a formality, not talking to themselves, or reciting some words to pray to God, yet they still have little understanding of how to pray. Therefore, the disciples came to the Lord Jesus one day and asked Him, “Lord, teach us to pray.” Think about it, the disciples were with the Lord Jesus daily from morning to night. They would have learned and seen what they should have learned and seen. But they still had one thing they had not learned, which was also what they desperately desired - that was “prayer”. Because they had witnessed how the Lord Jesus prayed to the Father, and His prayers were neither ritualistic nor unreal. They saw how the Lord Jesus truly enjoyed communing with the Father and how His prayer was completely different from the hypocritical prayers of the Pharisees or prayers using beautiful wordings. The Lord Jesus’ prayer practically allowed Him to receive all the grace and power from the Father. All the glorious serving of the Lord on earth was related to the communication between Him and the Father. At the end of each busy day of serving, the Lord Jesus loved to leave the crowd and retreat to the mountain where He often met the Father and had communion with Him. In contrast, the disciples might find that they did not receive so much grace in prayer, and they only felt tired after their daily serving, and sometimes they even encountered some negative situations which caused them to become anxious or of the flesh. Therefore, the disciples were eager to learn how their Lord prayed to the Father.
