Prayer is the most demanding discipline in life. It is tough and real business in Jesus time. Prayer was the work and ministry was the prize, while he was praying earnestly, his sweat was like drops of blood falling to the ground.

In Luke 11:1 – when Jesus had finished praying, one of his disciples asked him, “Lord teach us how to pray,” why did they did not asked “Lord teach us to preach” or Lord show us how to minister” because prayer is the vital ingredient in Jesus ministry.

He said to them, when you pray means:


- Our Father - to enter into a relationship with God

- Hallowed be thy name- his person

- Your kingdom come – his program

- Your will be done – his purpose

- Gives us this day our daily bead – his provision

- Forgive us our sins – his pardon

- Lead us not into temptation – his protection
