Commands of Christ: 21 

Pray like this... 

Jesus commanded us to pray. Not any or every prayer will do. There are ways we can pray that will not please Him. We are to pray with right motives. We are to pray thoughtfully. We are to pray in ways that acknowledge God’s holiness and fatherhood, and in submission to His will and ways. We are to pray for our needs and forgiveness and protection. Jesus taught elsewhere about prayer as well. Of course Jesus also modeled prayer. Perhaps the most complete understanding of prayer is that it is our communication with God, both speaking and listening. It is something we should be engaged in as a way of life, constantly aware of His presence and alert for His desires and will and purposes in every situation.
