Taught in Prayer

We find, accordingly, that prayer was a subject on which Jesus often spoke in the hearing of His disciples. – A.B. Bruce, The Training of the Twelve 

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.
