The Proper Attitude In Prayer Series

Contributed by Christopher Benfield on Jan 5, 2022

Prayer is something we are all familiar with, but I wonder if we are familiar enough with prayer? Is it possible that we have become too familiar with prayer? I believe there are instances in our lives where both are true.

The Proper Attitude in Prayer Matthew 6: 5-8 We have come to the portion of the Sermon on the Mount where Jesus begins to address prayer. The act of praying is literally imploring God to move on our behalf. It is described as words of worship or entreaty that are offered to the Lord. Prayer is ...read more
