Power in Prayer

Do you believe there's power in prayer?  

Quotable?   “A godly man cannot live without prayer.” Thomas Watson

“A man cannot live unless he takes his breath nor can the soul live, unless it breathes forth its desires to God.”

Prayer expresses the soul’s longing for God. ( see Psalm  42:1-2)  The supreme example of prayer in Scripture comes from the life of the Lord Jesus Christ.

In our personal life we realize that in Matt 6:9 our Lord gave us what many refer to as the Lord’s Prayer, yet many consider it the Disciples’ Prayer. 

John 17 has been referred to as the real Lord’s Prayer.

I ask that you reread John 17.  Soon I will begin a study from this text in preparation for Easter.
