Prayer of Jesus, Disciplined Lifestyle
What caused Jesus to pray?
It was the eve of Jesus’ betrayal, arrest, and trial. Lord Jesus knew ahead of time about His suffering, the weight of humanity’s sin, and the cross that He was to bear. He was overwhelmed with intense stress and turbulent emotions. He needed someone to talk to, or to pray with. Jesus asked God the Father if there was an alternative to His will, if there was another way to achieve salvation for mankind. The Father’s answer stated the obvious - Jesus is the only way to salvation.
How did Jesus pray?
Jesus had a discipline to His prayer. He prayed as was His custom. (Luke 22:39)
Jesus had a specific place for prayer– Mount Olives–away from distractions. (Luke 22:39)
Jesus prayed in solitude and in a group. (Luke 22:39-41)
Jesus prayed to resist temptation. (Luke 22:40)
Jesus was alert and cautious in prayer - watch and pray. (Luke 22:45-46)
Jesus had a posture of submission and surrender in prayer. (Luke 22:41)
Jesus prayed emotionally with sweat like drops of blood. (Luke 22:44)
Was Jesus’ prayer answered?
Angels from Heaven strengthened Jesus. God gave Jesus the fortitude to endure the suffering and the Cross. For this reason, we have salvation, forgiveness, healing, and deliverance in the name of Jesus. Salvation is found in no one else, for there is no other name under Heaven given to mankind by which we must be saved except for the name of Jesus.
How can we pray like Jesus?
Prayer ought to be a discipline that we develop in our lives, irrespective of our emotions and circumstances. If we find a specific place and time for prayer, it will help us stick to our prayer schedule and will also keep us away from distractions.
Prayer must be accompanied with the faith that the Father will hear us and that His will be accomplished in our lives. We should make the effort to be alert and watchful in prayer. Connect to God through prayer with your soul, spirit and body. We need to expect answers to our prayers. Beyond the pursuit of an answer, prayer is to find and know God. (Job 11:6-10, Deuteronomy 4:29)
