You Don't Become a Great Pray-er on Accident | Life of Prayer | 0086

Prayer. Prayer is one of the most beautiful and most frustrating parts of the Christian life ... at least for me. Having prayed and followed Jesus for 35 years, I still find myself with tons of questions about prayer and I find myself still asking, "Lord teach me to pray!" That's the same request the disciples had for Jesus in Luke 11:1, and it reminds us that living a life of prayer doesn't just happen on accident. We have to be intentional. We have to seek help. We have to learn to pray.  Bible Verses mentioned in this episode:  Luke 11:1 -One day Jesus was praying in a certain place. When he finished, one of his disciples said to him, “Lord, teach us to pray, just as John taught his disciples.”  Luke 5:16 -  But Jesus often withdrew to lonely places and prayed. Luke 6:12 - One of those days Jesus went out to a mountainside to pray, and spent the night praying to God. Luke 9:18 - Once when Jesus was praying in private and his disciples were with him, he asked them … Luke 9:28 - About eight days after Jesus said this, he took Peter, John and James with him and went up onto a mountain to pray. Mark 1:35 - Very early in the morning, while it was still dark, Jesus got up, left the house and went off to a solitary place, where he prayed. Mark 6:46 - After leaving them, he went up on a mountainside to pray. ▶️5 PRIORITIES OF A DISCIPLE MAKING CHURCH: https://www.johnwhittaker.net ▶️MORE FREE RESOURCES: https://www.johnwhittaker.net/resources ▶️SUPPORT THIS SHOW Two ways you can support the show: Become a patron for as little as $5 per month at https://www.patreon.com/johnwhittaker Donate through World Family Mission … all gifts are tax deductible.   Other resources and ways to connect with me:  ▶️Social Media-I would love to connect with you on facebook and instagram ▶️Email - [email protected] As always, if you appreciate this teaching leave a review and share freely - on Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, via email.
