Learning to pray
Understanding the elements of Jesus' prayer is important, but truly we simply need to learn to pray.
David
The power of prayer
We might also ask, what power do we not experience when we fail to spend time in prayer?
Continuing in prayer
Jesus' example shows us the priority he placed on prayer.
Are our hearts open to God?
Do we pass up miracles today because our minds and hearts are so closed that we cannot see or hear God at work in our midst?
How much does your offering cost you?
Our offerings to God should not be cheap, costing us little or nothing.
How much are we willing to suffer?
Do we seek to escape the rigors of discipleship, the way of the Cross?
The point of prayer
It is not wrong to express our needs or desires to the Father, yet our proper posture is willing submission to the will of the Father.
Why we are wrong
When we approach life, God and religion from our traditions, beliefs, perspectives, and desires we misunderstand God.
The spirit of a child
We often think that sophistication, strength, wisdom and more are the pinnacle of success.
When God does something new
The challenge for every generation is to recognize how God wants to move - how God is moving - and accept, follow and cooperate with what he is doing.
