Good morning everyone and welcome back to another mornings with the masters, where we devote ourselves to the Lord daily with you.

Good morning, guys.

Good morning, indeed, we're picking up with day two of our teaches to pray devotion on the Bible app.

There's a link to that in the

description if you guys want to follow along with us. And as always I'm going to read

the scripture then Tori's gonna pick with the Devo. Let's do it. The scriptures

is Luke chapter 11 verses 2 through 4 and they say this. So he said to them when you pray say this

our father in heaven hollowed be your name your kingdom come your will be done on earth as it is in heaven.

Give us day by day our daily bread and forgive us our sins.

For we also forgive everyone who is indebted to us and do not lead us into temptation but

deliver us from the evil one. The devotional says this. Some could be thinking

hey that's good it's a short prayer so I can do that easily.

Not so fast. Do we really think that Jesus taught us to pray with something that could be rattled through in a few seconds?

The problem is that this prayer is

well known to most of us and is said or sung in many places with no further

thought. It's often used as a kind of mantra, so it becomes fairly meaningless.

Here's what Jesus was doing. The rabbis and Jesus' day taught people index praying. You know what index praying is? It appears usually

at the beginning of a book, giving chapter numbers and titles. Imagine using a

large book for any study or work you're doing and finding there's no index.

Well, how would you find your way around?

On the other hand, what if there was just an index and no substance to the book?

The point of the index is to act as a pointer to the substance.
