  1. The Prayer Jesus of Part 1: “Our Father in Heaven…”

  2. “No words make prayer. Only a heart reaching out to God is prayer.” ~ Carroll Johnson Shewmake

  3. …People do not live by bread alone; rather, we live by every word that comes from the mouth of the Lord. ~ Deuteronomy 8:3 (NLT)

  4. “The man who mobilizes the Christian church to pray will make the greatest contribution to world evangelization in history!” ~ Andrew Murray

  5. “I would rather teach one man to pray than ten men to preach.” ~ Charles Spurgeon

  6. “The one concern of the devil is to keep Christians from praying. He fears nothing from prayerless studies, prayerless work and prayerless religion. He laughs at our toil, mocks at our wisdom, but he trembles when we pray.” ~ Samuel Chadwick

  7. “The Scriptures declare, ‘My Temple will be a house of prayer’…” ~ Luke 19:46 (NLT)

  8. So the Twelve called a meeting of all the believers. They said, “We apostles should spend our time teaching the word of God, not running a food program. And so, brothers, select seven men who are well respected and are full of the Spirit and wisdom. We will give them this responsibility. Then we apostles can spend our time in prayer and teaching the word.” ~ Acts 6:2-4 (NLT)

  9. THREE WARNINGS ABOUT PRAYER: Do not use prayer to show off 1

  10. “When you pray, don’t be like the hypocrites who love to pray publicly on street corners and in the synagogues where everyone can see them. I tell you the truth, that is all the reward they will ever get.” ~ Matthew 6:5 (NLT)

  11. “But when you pray, go away by yourself, shut the door behind you, and pray to your Father in private. Then your Father, who sees everything, will reward you.” ~ Matthew 6:6 (NLT)

  12. THREE WARNINGS ABOUT PRAYER: Don’t pray as a religious ritual 2

  13. “When you pray, don’t babble on and on as people of other religions do. They think their prayers are answered merely by repeating their words again and again.” ~ Matthew 6:7 (NLT)

  14. THREE WARNINGS ABOUT PRAYER: Don’t think of prayer as a way to inform God of what you need 3

  15. “…Your Father knows exactly what you need even before you ask him!” ~ Matthew 6:8 (NLT)

  16. “Our Father in heaven, may your name be kept holy.” ~ Matthew 6:9 (NLT)

  17. JESUS TEACHES US… The intimacy of personal prayer A

  18. “Jesus set the pattern for prayer as a continuous mode of friendship. The Old Testament contains many beautiful and magnificent prayers, usually led by a king or prophet… Some scholars suggest that Jesus virtually invented private prayer. No one in the Old Testament directly addressed God as ‘Father’ whereas Jesus did 170 times.” ~ Philip Yancey

  19. …We are his children, God has sent the Spirit of his Son into our hearts, prompting us to call out, “Abba, Father.” ~ Galatians 4:6 (NLT)

  20. …You received God’s Spirit when he adopted you as his own children. Now we call him, “Abba, Father.” ~ Romans 8:15 (NLT)

  21. Anni-Frid Lyngstad Björn Ulvaeus Benny Andersson Agnetha Fältskog

  22. JESUS TEACHES US… The supremacy of God over all B

  23. “Our Father in Heaven, may your name be kept holy.” ~ Matthew 6:9 (NLT)

  24. JESUS TEACHES US… The attitude of submission we must possess C

  25. “May Your Kingdom come soon. May Your will be done on earth, as it is in Heaven.” ~ Matthew 6:10 (NLT)

  26. “At its core, prayer probes the depth of personal submission… It’s at the heart of every prayer… Our relationship with God is so multi-faceted. He refers to us His friends, as children, even as co-inheritors with Jesus. But there’s also another aspect of our relationship in that God also relates to us as Lord and as subjects.” ~ Dave Workman
