Lord, Teach us to Pray

 

Luke 11:1 - And it came to pass, that, as he was praying in a certain place, when he ceased, one of his disciples said unto him, Lord, teach us to pray, as John also taught his disciples. 

 

Of all the things the disciples heard and saw Jesus do, we are given this statement above where they asked Jesus to teach them to pray!

 

The greatest thing Jesus did according to this is to pray. 

The greatest thing you or I can do is pray!

 

Why pray, to communicate with your Heavenly Father.

 

Prayer keeps us from taking God for granted.

 

Some prayers to pray;

Hear me, Psalms 4:1, Hear me when I call,

Save me, Psalms 6:4, Save me for Thy mercies sake.

Cleanse me, Psalms 51:2 Wash me throughly, from beginning to end!

Bless me, I Chronicles 4:10, Jabez prayed bless me indeed.

Teach me, Psalms 119:12, Teach me Thy statutes

Search me, Psalms 139:23, Search me O God

Keep me, Psalms 17:8, Keep me as the apple of Thine eye!

Help me, Psalms 22:19, haste Thee to help me!

Guide me, Psalms 73:24, Thou shalt guide me with Thy counsel.

 

Pray for yourself, Pray for your family, pray for others, pray for our leaders, pray for our churches, pray for our country, pray for each other.

 

What a blessing to know that the Creator of the universe has prepared a way that we can make our requests known to Him through the name of Jesus Christ. Glory Hallelujah!
