Prayer Foundation

Prayer to the Christian must be taken as a lifestyle; and it becomes a truthful obligation if taken after the example of Jesus!

Mk 1:35 “Now in the morning, having risen a long while before daylight, He went out and departed to a solitary place; and there He prayed.”

Lk 4:42 “Now when it was day, He departed and went into a deserted place. And the crowd sought Him and came to Him, and tried to keep Him from leaving them; 43 but He said to them, ‘I must preach the kingdom of God to the other cities also, because for this purpose I have been sent.’”

Mt 14:23 “And when He had sent the multitudes away, He went up on the mountain by Himself to pray. Now when evening came, He was alone there.” (Also Mk 6:46; Jn 6:16)

Lk 5:15 “However, the report went around concerning Him all the more; and great multitudes came together to hear, and to be healed by Him of their infirmities. 16 So He Himself often withdrew into the wilderness and prayed.”

Lk 6:12 “Now it came to pass in those days that He went out to the mountain to pray, and continued all night in prayer to God.”

Lk 9:18 “And it happened, as He was alone praying, that His disciples joined Him, and He asked them, saying, ‘Who do the crowds say that I am?’”

Lk 22:41,42 “And He was withdrawn from them about a stone's throw, and He knelt down and prayed,”              (Also Mt 26:39; Mr 14:35)  42 saying, "Father, if it is Your will, take this cup away from Me; nevertheless not My will, but Yours, be done." (Also Jn 5:30; 6:38)

Public Prayer of Christ: Mt 11:25; Lu 3:21; Jn 11:41; Jn 17:1.
