Matthew #8: Prayer and Fasting
This lesson continues to explain the rights and wrongs of spiritual disciplines by turning in the Sermon on the Mount to prayer and fasting. Jesus gives a model prayer that includes seven petitions: three concerning God - getting your priority straight with what concerns God, and then four for our personal needs - give, forgive, lead, and deliver us. All spiritual disciplines, Charity, Prayer, and Fasting, must be God-oriented.

About this Plan
The first four books of the New Testament are called “gospels,” which means “good news.” They are fundamental to the revelation of God’s eternal plan to redeem and save lost humanity. They are often called biographies for they each tell the story of Jesus, his birth, ministry, death, and resurrection. The good news of the Gospels is that Jesus has come, that he is both Savior and King, and people can know this is true because God has raised him from the dead. This section specifically focuses on the longest of the four Gospels, the Gospel of Matthew.
