Jesus taught His disciples in prayer. He demonstrated how to pray
in what we have come to commonly call “The Lord’s Prayer
” or “The Model Prayer
.” In the Sermon on the Mount
, the Lord discussed prayer aspects such as when and how to pray
. He offered warnings to not pray like hypocrites, seeking to be seen or heard praying before others
.
As A.B. Bruce
shares in his classic Christian book, The Training of the Twelve
, prayer was a subject that Jesus shared with His disciples often. In light of this, the Christian believer must
earnestly seek out the Lord’s instructions on
and model of prayer
. You may not pray the very words of Jesus
, reciting and repeating them over and over, but you should certainly spend some time meditating on these verses
rather than just simply memorizing them.
The red letters of the New Testament
offer the believer both edification and enlightenment in prayer as our chief resource in communicating with God the Father
.
