June 30 - Vignettes on Prayer

 June 30 - Vignettes on Prayer

 

     We have been looking at the prayer life of Jesus as our example on how to pray.  Jesus always prayed in times of great testing.  Jesus faced two times of great testing that we are going to look at.  The first was when he spent 40 days and nights fasting and praying.  This happened before the temptation in the wilderness where Satan tested Him.  Jesus defeated the devil by using the word of God.  The second time of testing was in the garden of Gethesame in Matt 26:39-44.  His first priority in both cases was that God’s will should be done and to this end He prayed in the times of great testing and difficulty in his life.  There will be times of testing in our lives and prayer is the lifeline that will hold us steady, strong and stable.
