Jesus – Son of God
Jesus teaches us how to pray
One of the greatest things that I love about Jesus is that He knew how to pray.
I have learned that the thing that is holding us together in this world is prayer. Jesus
knew how to pray to His Father. He knew that nothing could separate Him from His
Father’s love.
Let us reflect on a few verses that teaches us how Jesus prayed.
1. Mark 1:35
Very early in the morning, while it was still dark, Jesus got up, left the house and went off to
a solitary place, where he prayed.
2. Matthew 6:9-13
"This, then, is how you should pray: "'Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your name, your
kingdom come, your will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Give us today our daily bread.
Forgive us our debts, as we also have forgiven our debtors. And lead us not into temptation,
but deliver us from the evil one.‘
3. Matthew 11:25-26
At that time Jesus said, "I praise you, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, because you have
hidden these things from the wise and learned, and revealed them to little children. Yes,
Father, for this was your good pleasure.
4. Matthew 14:23
After he had dismissed them, he went up on a mountainside by himself to pray. When
evening came, he was there alone.
5. Luke 6:12
One of those days Jesus went out to a mountainside to pray, and spent the night praying to
God.
6. Luke 22:32
But I have prayed for you, Simon that your faith may not fail. And when you have turned
back, strengthen your brothers.“
7. Luke 22:41-44
He withdrew about a stone's throw beyond them, knelt down and prayed, "Father, if you are
willing, take this cup from me; yet not my will, but yours be done." An angel from heaven
appeared to him and strengthened him. And being in anguish, he prayed more earnestly, and
his sweat was like drops of blood falling to the ground.
8. Luke 23:34
Jesus said, "Father, forgive them, for they do not know what they are doing." And they
divided up his clothes by casting lots.
9. John 11:41-42
So they took away the stone. Then Jesus looked up and said, "Father, I thank you that you
have heard me. I knew that you always hear me, but I said this for the benefit of the people
standing here, that they may believe that you sent me."
11. John 17:1-26
After Jesus said this, he looked toward heaven and prayed: "Father, the time has come. Glorify
your Son, that your Son may glorify you. For you granted him authority over all people that
he might give eternal life to all those you have given him. Now this is eternal life: that they
may know you, the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom you have sent. I have brought you
glory on earth by completing the work you gave me to do. And now, Father, glorify me in
your presence with the glory I had with you before the world began. "I have revealed you to
those whom you gave me out of the world. They were yours; you gave them to me and they
have obeyed your word. Now they know that everything you have given me comes from you.
For I gave them the words you gave me and they accepted them. They knew with certainty
that I came from you, and they believed that you sent me. I pray for them. I am not praying
for the world, but for those you have given me, for they are yours. All I have is yours, and all
you have is mine. And glory has come to me through them.
