One day Jesus’ followers noticed he had left the group to pray as he often did. -- When he finished and rejoined the group, one disciple had the courage to ask him what the rest of them were no doubt thinking: “Master, would you teach us to pray?” This is the only time the Bible tells us that they asked him to specifically teach them something. I think they could simply sense the depth of spiritual community Jesus was experiencing with his heavenly Father. They saw a kind of intimate fellowship with God as Jesus prayed, and they wanted that same relationship with God – their hearts hungered for it.
