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.

June 29 - Vignettes on Prayer
June 29 - Vignettes on Prayer
Jesus was a true example of prayer and through His life we can learn so much about prayer. Jesus sought the Lord before all major decisions. In one case He spent all night in prayer before choosing the twelve disciples to be His apostles. Jesus wanted to make sure the right men were in place because He would be building His church on these men. So do you pray earnestly before an major decision. On this occasion Jesus spent the entire night in prayer in Luke 6:12. A simple exhortation today is follow the example of Jesus. I might add why don’t you pray before minor decisions. It is often a minor decision that can lead to an opportunity or even a change of life. Jesus is our example in all things.
