Title: Teach us to pray
Every day, think of the kingdom of God; every day, think of eternity.
If we were to ask the Lord Jesus how and how often we should pray, we would have to acknowledge the anticipation on the kingdom as a daily expectation, much akin to our need for sustenance, and cleansing from sin, and forgiveness of those who have wronged us.
We should not lose focus on where we are bound to, just because we are weighed down by the urgency of temporal existence. Eternity is the meaning of and reason for life and it is much too important to ignore from day to day.

The Gospel
Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the GOSPEL which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand; By which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain. For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures:
[Paul, writing to Christians @ Corinth, 1 Cor. 15:1-4]
