Mike Prah – January 23, 2022

"Lord, teach us to pray." Luke 11:1 (NKJV)

 1. PRAYER IS AN ACT OF DEDICATION

 Prayer is an opportunity to:

1. Express our Dependence upon God.
2. Demonstrate our Devotion to God

 “If you remain in Me and I in you, you will bear much fruit; apart from me you can do nothing. If you do not remain in Me, you are like a branch that is thrown away and withers; such branches are picked up, thrown into the fire and burned. If you remain in me and my words remain in you, ask whatever you wish, and it will be done for you.” John 15:5-7 (NIV)

 2. PRAYER IS AN ACT OF COMMUNICATION

 “I no longer call you servants, because a servant does not know his master’s business. Instead, I have called you friends, for everything that I learned from my Father I have made known to you. You did not choose me, but I chose you and appointed you so that you might go and bear fruit—fruit that will last—and so that whatever you ask in my Name the Father will give you” John 15:15-16 (NIV)

 “Then, teaching them more about prayer, Jesus used this story: “Suppose you went to a friend’s house at midnight, wanting to borrow three loaves of bread. You say to him, ‘A friend of mine has just arrived for a visit, and I have nothing for him to eat.’ And suppose he calls out from his bedroom, ‘Don’t bother me. The door is locked for the night, and my family and I are all in bed. I can’t help you.’ But I tell you this—though he won’t do it for friendship’s sake, if you keep knocking long enough, he will get up and give you whatever you need because of your SHAMELESS PERSISTENCE” Luke 11:5-8, NLT

 3. PRAYER IS AN ACT OF MAKING REQUESTS

 “Don’t worry about anything; instead, pray about everything. Tell God what you need, and thank him for all he has done. Then you will experience God’s peace, which exceeds anything we can understand. His peace will guard your hearts and minds as you live in Christ Jesus” Philippians 4:6-7 (NLT)

 “I tell you the truth, my Father will give you whatever you ask in My name. Until now you have not asked for anything in My name. Ask and you will receive, and your joy will be complete” John 16:23-24 (NIV)

 “Which of you fathers, if your son asks for a fish [to eat], will give him a snake instead?  Or if he asks for an egg, will give him a scorpion?  If you then, though you are evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father in heaven give the Holy Spirit to those who ask Him!” Luke 11:11-13 (NIV)

 “You don’t have the things you want, because you don’t pray for them.” James 4:2 (GW)

 Jesus: “So I tell you, keep on asking, and you will receive what you ask for. Keep on seeking, and you will find. Keep on knocking, and the door will be opened to you. For everyone who asks, receives. Everyone who seeks, finds. And to everyone who knocks, the door will be opened” Luke 11:9-10, NLT

 “The Lord is near to all who call upon Him, To all who call upon Him in truth. He will fulfill the desire of those who fear Him; He also will hear their cry and save them” Psalm 145:18-19 (NKJV)

 Seek your happiness in the Lord, and He will give you your heart's desire."  Psalm 37:4 (GNT)

 “The Lord will give grace and glory; No good thing will He withhold from those who walk uprightly” Psalm 84:11 (NKJV)
