THE SOURCE OF POWER

"Lord, teach us to pray." (Luke 11:1)

He was a gifted Preacher, a powerful Person, a Man who drew people to Himself, yet search as you will, His disciples never ask Jesus how to preach or how to become a magnetic person. But they do ask Him: "Lord, teach us to pray." Somehow they realized that behind that magnetic and productive life lay a power unknown to them, a source untapped by them.

They had seen Him get up early in the morning [to pray]. They had known Him to stay up late at night [praying]. They knew He prayed as the need arose. More than once they caught Him in meditation. "Lord, teach us to pray." We, too, want to know the secret of a productive life. We, too, want to tap the source of power.
