Prayer

Throughout His public ministry, Jesus demonstrated the importance of prayer. It was central to His relationship with God and staying focused on God's will. Jesus was a pray-er. He prayed spontaneously and informally, matching His prayer to the moment. By word and deed, He encouraged others to pray and offered specific advice about how...The Lord's Prayer is a prime example. Four patterns emerge from the passages related to Jesus and His prayer life. He prayed alone and in the presence of others, He prayed persistently and simply. When the need arose, Jesus never hesitated to lift His hands to Heaven and ask God's wisdom and direction...no matter the situation and regardless of who was watching.
