WHY THIS, NOW?
“[Jesus] has shown us the danger of condemning other people as if we were the judges, and of harboring bitterness and hatred in our hearts… The effect of all that upon us is to reveal us to ourselves and to show us our terrible need of grace…we are humbled and begin to ask, ‘Who is sufficient for these things? How can I possibly live up to such a standard?’”
- Martin Lloyd Jones, Studies in the Sermon on the Mount
THE TWO KEYS TO PRAYER . . .

1. Our persistence
* So don’t give up:

> Stand in faith on God’s promises

> Exercise your spiritual authority

> Focus on God’s character rather than your script
THE TWO KEYS TO PRAYER . . .

1. Our persistence

2. God’s willingness . . .
Prayer is not twisting the arm of a reluctant God,
but embracing the heart of a willing God.
