    The Lord's Prayer

    Contributed by Brian Credille on Jun 21, 2009
    based on 4 ratings
     | 8,730 views

    This message looks at the prayer Jesus prayed for His disciples, and for all who would believe in Him.

    The prayer of Jesus found in the Sermon on the Mount is often called "The Lord’s Prayer." It would be more accurate to call it "The Model Prayer," because Jesus uses it to teach us how to pray. In John 17, we find a very personal, heartfelt prayer by our Lord. It is truly accurate to call it, "The ...read more

    Many prayers of God’s people are weak, empty, passion-less, and vision-less. If we are going to see God move, if we are going to see God at work, if we are going to see situations turned around and lives dramatically changed by the mighty hand of God the

    Walnut Prayers There was once a man who was very faithful in his prayer life. Every morning when he got up he would kneel by his bed and he would pray, ‘God bless me, God bless my family, God bless this day’. And before every meal he would say a prayer ‘God bless this food’. And every night ...read more

    Prayer and suffering need not be exclusive of one another. As one connects with the other – as our suffering connects with our praying, then a cry goes out to the heavenly realms which God cannot ignored.

Can I just remind you that prayer is simply a means by which we communicate with God and God communicates with us. When we communicate with each other, we do so in a ...read more

    Tears are a language that God understands. Tears speak more about what our hearts feel than any words could ever express. When words just won’t come, it’s our tears that shout out to God.

    Prayer of Tears Psalm 56:8 (The Living Bible) We’ve started a new series called ‘When you pray…’ and over the next few weeks we’re going to be looking at this thing we call prayer and the different types of prayer that are available to us.

    Rest is not only vital to our spiritual lives, it is imperative if we are to be effective. Through the prayer of rest, God places his children in the eye of the storm. When all around us is chaos and confusion, deep within we know stability and serenity

    The Prayer of Rest Matthew 11:25-30 The story is told of a lady who became very angry at the pastor.

    God is angry with the children of Israel, but, as he does several times in this book, Moses pleads with the Lord on behalf of the people.

    Maybe you’ve heard the story about a pastor who woke up from his after-dinner nap one late February Sunday in no mood at all to preach in that evening service. When he stepped out onto his porch his desire to preach lessened even more as he felt the nice warm air that had been missing from his ...read more

     | 11,214 views

    Why ‘work’ instead of ‘activity’ of prayer or ‘picnic’ of prayer? Why does ‘prayer concert’, or ‘prayer vigil’ sound so gray and bland? The answer is obvious. Prayer is hard work! It is rewarding; it is life-changing; but it is hard.

I confess my struggle with this topic. It is complex yet simple. So complex that we will not even begin ...read more
