     | 9,391 views

    We could learn some lessons from many sources, but more valuable lessons we could learn from the Word of God itself, especially in the prayer of Jesus.

    The focus is humility in prayer out of a realization that righteousness can not be reached by means of our own efforts. Prayers are heard & answered because of God's mercy not because of our self-justifying merits.
