The one thing Jesus' disciples asked Him to teach them was "to Pray". The one prayer request that Jesus asked us to pray about was more workers into the plentiful harvest.
Somehow Jesus' disciples were moved by Jesus' prayer life. They observed in Him a connection to God the Father that they wanted for themselves. They saw this discipline displayed in Jesus' life and ministry. They knew is was an essential part of Jesus being able to live an obedient life.
If Jesus needed to pray, how much more is this true for us? My dad always says, "Jesus asked us to fast and pray. We like to pray fast. If at all." I am grateful for daily reminders to pray (the 10:02 prayer, meal time and daily writing to others), but still I fall way short in this discipline.
Pray.
