A Lifestyle Prayer

As Pastor Jay wraps up the Teach Us to Prayer he shares aspects of a lifestyle prayer. Then he further explores how prayer should be our first response not our last resort and some things that should be on our prayer priority list.

TEACH US TO PRAY

A Lifestyle Prayer (Part 3)

Luke 11:1 – One day Jesus was praying in a certain place. When he finished, one of his disciples said to him, “Lord, teach us to pray, just as John taught his disciples.” 

Luke 18:1 (NLT) – One day Jesus told his disciples a story to show that they should always pray and never give up. 

1 Thessalonians 5:17 (NLT) – Never stop praying.

A LIFESTYLE PRAYER

A certain time – Daniel 6:10

A certain place – Mark 1:35

A certain plan – Luke 11:2-4

PRAY FIRST 

2 Chronicles 7:13-14  – When I shut up the heavens so that there is no rain, or command locusts to devour the land or send a plague among my people, if my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then will I hear from heaven and will forgive their sin and will heal their land. 

1. Pray first for our nation

• 1 Timothy 2:1-2, Proverbs 11:11

2. Pray first for my family

• Nehemiah 4:14

3. Pray first for the lost

• Matthew 9:37-38

4. Pray first for my needs

• Philippians 4:6-7

Prayer should be our first response, not our last resort.
