Jesus Man of Prayer

This last week we looked at Jesus as a man of Prayer.

Often we allow our prayer life to become ritualistic, something we check off on our spiritual "to do" list.

It was never a "to do" list for Jesus. It was authentic, it was real and it was a way to engage God the Father on this earth.

The cool thing about this lesson is that we can engage the same God right now in our own life. We can call on the creator of the universe to show His power on earth right now. We can call on Him believing, kowing he will intervene. It may not be in our timing and may not be the way we want, but He does intercat in our lives through prayer.

We have to remember, that the way in which we approcah him is important. James 4:3 tells us not to ask with the wrong motives. We learn from Jesus to pray with a pure heart. It is not about us, it is all about God.

One of the problems is that we have gottne good at asking for stuff. Probably 90% of all our prayers are about asking for stuff. We need to spend some time with God building a relationship with Him through prayer. Send this week, telling God about what you have done and what you are going to do. Include Him in your life life this week. Spend some time without sying anything and listen to Him in your Spirit as he leads you through this week.

Let's all change the way we pray. Let's spend some time including God in our everyday life.
