How Should I Pray?

To whom do Christians pray? Are we praying to the Trinity, to Father, Son, and the Holy Spirit? Is there a way that our prayers are to be structured? Is the Lord’s prayer an example for us to think rightly about prayer? How should a Christian go about their prayers, is there a specific way?

This week on the Straight Truth Podcast, Dr. Richard Caldwell and host Dr. Josh Philpot discuss these questions and more as they speak about prayer in the life of believers. Jesus' disciples recognized the importance of prayer and desired for Him to teach them how to pray. We find the example He gives recorded for us in Matthew 6 and Luke 11. In both places, we read how our Lord instructs us to begin our prayers. These first words given are "Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your name.", and "Father, hallowed be your name." respectfully. Dr. Caldwell explains that this is the pattern that is most often found in the New Testament. We come addressing God the Father, in and through the Son, doing so by the power of the Holy Spirit.

This is the normal and regular way that we see Christians pray in the New Testament. He shares that there are a couple of examples in Scripture where Jesus is addressed directly, but also shares that he cannot think of any place where the Spirit of God is directly addressed. So, while we do have a relationship with each member of the Godhead, and each is worthy of praise and worship, the normal, consistent way we will pray is to the Father, by the Son, in the power of the Holy Spirit.
