    Jesus' teaching on the Lord's Prayer in Luke 11:1-13 teaches us that impudent prayer is essential to a godly life.

After teaching on the nature of mission and the importance of commitment, Jesus taught his disciples about various relationships.

    God wants us to pray at all times and never to get wearied in praying. Jesus demonstrated to us the need for prevailing prayers, and we are to follow His good example.

    Prayer can change circumstances and prayer can change us. The Lord has told us to pray and never give up, both of these things are very hard when you are going through a hard time.

    The Parable Of The Prayers Series

    Contributed by Dennis Davidson on Nov 10, 2014
    based on 6 ratings
     | 29,169 views

    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.

    LUKE 18: 9-14 [PARABLES IN LUKE] THE PARABLE OF THE PRAYERS [Luke 11:39-11;54] In this section Jesus tells a story of a Pharisee and a tax collector. Both were sincere and devout. As a matter of fact, one kept the law scrupulously, or thought he did. The other was in a profession in which ...read more

    Childlike Prayer Series

    based on 15 ratings
     | 28,881 views

    A lot of people think if they just had the right "formula" for praying that God would hear them. But that's not true. God's not impressed with your form, He's impressed with your childlike faith in prayer. So, how can I have that kind of faith in prayer?

    I'd like you to recite the Lord’s Prayer with me: Our Father which art in heaven, hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done on earth, as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors. And lead us not into temptation, ...read more

    The different positions we take when praying.

    POSTURES IN PRAYER Mark 11:25 Our posture in prayer may or may not be an important matter; it all depends on the circumstances.

    Prayer For The Church

    Contributed by Ajai Prakash on Jan 21, 2015
    based on 1 rating
     | 7,511 views

    The church and our nation don't seem to be in a good spot and need much prayer. The church in Ephesus was in a similar spot and Paul knew that they needed prayer desperately. Have we been focusing on praying for the church in our nation?

    Opening illustration: A friend told me about a neighbor who years ago spent most of his spare time planting trees. The man seldom watered the young trees because he thought that too much watering spoiled them. (He came from the “no pain, no gain” school of plant care.) Pampered trees, ...read more
