Tonightâs subject is âThe Secret of Praying.â He who has learned how to pray has learned the greatest secret of a full and happy life. Youâre told in scripture that his followers said to him, âLord, teach us to pray.â He gave him a prayer (Luke 11:1). But that is not teaching man how to pray. So weâre told in other passages that he told it in the form of a parable, âAnd he told them a parable that they ought always to pray and not lose heart.â Then he told the story of persistency.
