Is there an appropriate way to begin a prayer? Or, to ask it differently, "Is there a proper way to think about God when we pray?" According to Jesus there is. When the disciples asked him, "Lord teach us how to pray" (Luke 11:1), Jesus didn't just teach them a prayer, he taught them how to pray. The beginning of his prayer is a lesson on how to approach God in prayer.
Jesus' lesson on the right way to start a prayer could be summarized by two words: reverent familiarity. Familiarity is closeness, even intimacy. Reverence is respect, even awe. And we need them both.
