    Jesus And Prayer

    Contributed by Elmer Towns on Oct 7, 2025
     | 98 views

    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
