Good Morning!

Several examples of Jesus praying are shared with us in the Bible. Trusting God's word, Jesus would frequently pray. How much greater could life be if you had a healthy prayer life?

 

Using Jesus as our model, Have you ever wondered why the Bible never mentioned the disciples asking Jesus to teach them how to preach, but instead focused on how to pray? Jesus, in Luke chapter 11, teaches us how to pray by giving us the Lord's Prayer as a model.

 

 Prayer is an essential part of our daily journey as Christians, and it should be incorporated into our lives regularly. Through prayer, we build a relationship with God the Father, drawing closer to Him and communicating with Him.  Likewise, Jesus was always faithful in his commitment to prayer.

 

For us to pray boldly and faithfully to God, we should likewise follow Christ's example. Like Jesus, we also encounter hardships but we should pray in the manner desired by God, we should emulate Jesus.
