"Praying Like Jesus"
John 17
Blurb: Of all the basic disciplines of the Christian life, prayer is the hardest one to maintain with any consistency. It is hard to get people to pray. It is easier to get people to give money than it is to get people to pray. Yet, Jesus would often spend a whole night in prayer. If Jesus, the Son of God, thought it was important to pray, shouldn’t we make it more of a priority? How did Jesus pray for us?
“I throw myself down in my chamber, and I call in and invite God and his angels thither, and when they are there, I neglect God and his angels, for the noise of a fly, for the rattling of a coach, for the whining of a door.”
