"Jesus the Servant": Weekly Leader Training—Unit 23, Session 3: Jesus Teaches About Prayer
When we read the way Jesus teaches about prayer in this passage, we might be tempted to picture God a bit like a magical genie. All we have to do is ask, and we’ll be given whatever we want, right? Whatever door we knock on, God will open it, and whatever we seek, it will be given to us....
