After watching Jesus pray, one of His disciples asked Him to teach them how to pray. It was the custom of our Lord to get alone to pray. One of His disciples must have overheard Him pray, and now had a desire to pray like Christ prayed. The disciple is not just asking how to pray. The Lord had given the Sermon on the Mount, and at that time He gave them what we call the Lord’s Prayer (Matt. 6:9-13) which outlined how one should pray. This disciple is not asking for a technique, a system, an art form, or a ritual to follow. It’s not a matter of how to do it, but he wanted to pray like Christ prayed.
