Matthew 6:5–13; 1 Samuel 1:9–18; Luke 11:1–13 - AIT - "Teach Us To Pray"

There's a gap between knowing you should pray and actually doing it — and what keeps most of us in that gap is the quiet fear we'd do it wrong. Wrong words. Not enough faith. The disciples felt it too, which is why they asked: "Lord, teach us to pray." Three scenes answer them. Jesus clears away the performance. Hannah shows up bitter of soul, mistaken for drunk, and pours it out anyway. And a man bangs on a door at midnight, shamelessly. Your Father knows what you need before you ask. Bring the ache. Keep knocking. What He ultimately gives is Himself.

About the Podcast

Be Still and Know

“Be still, and know that I am God.” — Psalm 46:10
Scripture, taught slowly and without rush. Be Still offers full expository sermons that walk carefully through the text, plus shorter midweek episodes to steady your week. Named for the verse my grandmother held close all her life — and offered now as a place to stop, listen, and remember who God is.
In a loud and hurried world, come and be still.

About your host

Jeff Stoner

I'm Jeff — the heart behind Be Still and Know. This show started from a simple desire: to slow down and actually sit with God's Word, without the rush. It's named for Psalm 46:10, my grandmother's favorite verse — "Be still, and know that I am God." Every episode, I try to walk through Scripture honestly and carefully, paired with original songs, as a place for you to pause in the middle of a noisy week and be reminded of who God is. I'm glad you're here.
