    What is it about the "Lord's Prayer" and other comments from the Sermon on the Mount" that can help us pray a deeper prayer than what we've prayed before?

    (Play video of children: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wlBK97Q4Ae8 - timestamp .12 thru .39) Jesus prayed a lot. According to one researcher, there are 17 times in the Gospels tell us He prayed. Among those 17 times, we see that Jesus prayed… Before He chose His 12 disciples. (Luke 6:12-13); He ...read more

    "Come and hear, all ye that fear God, and I will declare what He hath done for my soul" (Psalm 66:16).

    OF ANSWERED PRAYER. Psalm 66:16-20. The testimony of the people of God is supplemented with the testimony of one believer: like a good old-fashioned evangelistic meeting, which not only has good preaching, but also individual testimonies to follow. The voice of the one rises above the song of ...read more

    Shaping our prayers in accordance with what we know about the character of God.

    A BOLD PRAYER. Genesis 18:23-32. The conversation between the LORD and Abraham suggests a relationship. God shares His Word with His covenant children, and prompts us to respond.

    “Wilt thou not revive us again: that thy people may rejoice in thee?” (PSALM 85:6).

    A PRAYER FOR MERCY. Psalm 85:1-7. The Prayer begins, not with personal desires, but by recalling to mind God’s past favours (PSALM 85:1-3). We must learn to “count our blessings, name them one by one,” as the hymn writer exhorts us, to raise up our ‘Ebenezers,’ our “stones of help” as the word ...read more

    How many of us can as children of God approach Him boldly and ask Him for the greater blessings that He has in store for us. Today many are satisfied with leading a mediocre life of just attending church on Sunday, reading a few verses and praying.

    We read in Judges 1:14-15, Acsah went to live with Othniel. Othniel told Acsah to ask her father for some land. She went to her father. When she got off her donkey, Caleb asked her, "What is wrong?" Acsah answered him, "Give me a blessing. You gave me dry desert land in the Negev. ...read more

    Such outpouring of ourselves, painful perseverance, tenacity in prayer - will cause us also to prevail. Thus, like Jacob, we will procure the blessing

    A METAPHOR FOR PRAYER. Genesis 32:22-31. “The ford Jabbok” (Genesis 32:22) is significant, first, in that it was the border of the land of promise (cf. Numbers 21:24). Second, it was here that Jacob had a lifechanging encounter with God, and had his name changed from Jacob to Israel (Genesis ...read more

    The LORD accept thy burnt sacrifice. Psalm 20.3.

    A PRAYER FOR THE KING. Psalm 20:1-9. Jesus took with Him Peter, James and John and instructed them to ‘watch’ with Him (cf. Matthew 26:38), and to ‘watch and pray’ (cf. Matthew 26:41). I wonder what prayers they might have made on His behalf if their sleepy heads could have stayed awake long ...read more

    Jesus And Prayer

    Jesus did not pray to change God’s will, rather He prayed to discover God’s will.

    A. JESUS’ PRAYER INTENSITY 1. He didn’t consider prayer a light thing. “And being in agony, He prayed more earnestly. Then His sweat became like great drops of blood falling down to the ground” (Luke 22:44). 2. Jesus went through terrible struggles when He became our sin. “He begged God, ‘If ...read more

     | 150 views

    This Psalm is sometimes called "Israel Anthem of Prayer. It encourages us to pray when we are about to enter into a difficult time of situation. The message is not original with me. I'm not even sure who to attribute it to, I found it in some of my old sermon notes.
