Lord, Teach Us To Pray, Part 3 (4 of 6)
Dr. Ernest L. Easley
Matthew 6.9-15
Now from Matthew chapter 6, we're learning how to pray. And who better than the Lord Jesus Christ to teach us to pray?
You see, Jesus was a man of prayer! Mark 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.''
Do you know what that tells me? That tells me that I will never become a man of God until I become a man of prayer! And that goes for you too! You say you want to become a man of God? You say you want to become a woman of God? You say you want God's best? Then decide to become a person of prayer!
Friend, you ought to pray because Jesus prayed! For if the ''Son can do nothing of Himself'' (John 5.19), who do you think you are to think you can?
You ought to write this scripture there in the margin of your Bible in Matthew 6: Luke 18.1, ''Then He spoke a parable to them, that men always ought to pray and not lose heart.'' Do you know what it is to lose heart? It means to be weary!
Are you weary this morning? Have you grown tired in doing good? Have you grown weary in raising those children? Perhaps you've grown tired in staying pure or walking with God. Do you know why? Because sometime back there, you stopped praying! Jesus said ''...that men always ought to pray and not lose heart.'' There's a link between prayer and strength! Between prayer and hope! And the way to avoid growing weary is by prayer!
I don't know a better reason for participating in our church-wide prayer meeting on Sunday afternoons at 5:30 p.m.!! ''...that men always ought to pray and not lose heart.''
Jesus was a man of prayer. But He was also the model for prayer. He not only showed us by example, He showed us through education.
That's what Matthew chapter 6 is all about! I mean, when you open your Bible to Matthew chapter 6, it's like walking into a classroom. The teache ...
