A Jesus-like Prayer Life (12.11.13)

Jesus’ primary mission on earth was His atoning, death and resurrection. 

However, He also served as the perfect example for all Christians to follow. 

Being the Son of GOD, He was the model teacher, the consummate leader, 

the exemplary servant and the excellent ethicist. 

His prayer life, as in all other spiritual disciplines, was perfect. 

So a Christian desiring to learn about prayer and how to pray
should carefully examine and follow the prayer life of Jesus.

Jesus is divine, and He was filled with the Holy Spirit
throughout His earthly ministry.
If anyone ever had an excuse for a lax prayer life, it was Jesus!
Yet, Jesus prayed frequently (Luke 5:16), fervently (Luke 22:44), and faithfully (John 17).

Even rising early to pray after a long day of teaching and healing (Mk.1:35).

- Prayer - 

Lord Jesus,
Please teach me how to pray frequently, fervently and faithfully; 

as You did in Your humanity!
You are God, and yet, You rose early to pray.
And you never did or said anything You didn’t receive from Your Father.

Please give me a better understanding of the power of prayer, 

so that I will seek Your face passionately and continually.

Amen
