Before teaching us how to pray, Jesus first shows us what to avoid. In this opening session, we confront the real reasons prayer can feel difficult: distraction, doubt, wrong motives, and misunderstanding who God is.
By looking at Jesus’ words in Matthew 6, we uncover two common traps: performing for others and trying to manipulate God. From there, we’re invited into something far better, a simple, honest, relational approach to prayer.
