Whether we’re making a bird house, or sewing a dress, it helps to have a template . . . a pattern to follow.  As Pastor Greg Laurie points out, the Lord gave us a template or a pattern to follow for effective prayer.  It’s what we commonly call The Lord’s Prayer.  It’s really more the disciples’ prayer as it shows us how to bring our petitions to God.

Pastor Greg Laurie talks plain truth in a style everyday Aussies can relate to. Using (often funny) stories and straight talk from the Word, he'll help you know God and make Him known. Greg Laurie is Senior Pastor of Harvest Christian Fellowship in Riverside, California. He began his pastoral ministry at age 19 by leading a Bible study of 30 people. Since then, God has transformed that small group into one of the largest churches in America. In 1990, Greg began holding public evangelistic events called Harvest Crusades. Since that time, more than 4 million people have attended Harvest Crusades across the U.S., Canada, Australia, and New Zealand. Ps Greg is the featured speaker of Harvest Ministry's radio program, A New Beginning, heard daily on Vision.
