Obey Prayer Part Two (11 of 35)
Series: Obey Everything
Steve Jones
Matthew 6:9-13
SERMON SUMMARY: This sermon addresses Jesus' command to pray by looking at the FORM of THE LORD'S PRAYER. We break down one way to ''build out'' our daily prayer with 1) Praise, 2) Intercession, 3) Requests, 4) Confession, and 5) Protection.
Introduction: We are in a sermon series entitled ''Obey Everything''. The command of Jesus we're obeying today is the command to pray Mt.6:9 ''This, then, is how you should pray.'' Last week we began this discussion on prayer and today we'll conclude.
By way of reminder, last time we noted that the FOCUS of this prayer is God, and the FREQUENCY of this prayer is daily. We want to have a DAILY time of INTENTIONAL, NON-MULTI-TASKING prayer with God. Now I want to get into some practical suggestions for making that happen. Having looked at the FOCUS and FREQUENCY, let's talk about the actual FORM or FORMAT of the Lord's prayer and see how to build that out into a pattern we can follow.
As we walk through this process, I'm going to share with you what I do. I know that not everyone can or even wants to do it ''my way'' and that is fine. But I almost never hear people talk about the specifics or the mechanics of their daily quiet time, and I imagine you haven't either, so I'm hoping this might be helpful to someone.
First, most of my morning prayer time is conducted while walking. I walk and pray.
Gen.3:8 ''The man and his wife heard the sound of the Lord God as he was walking in the garden in the cool of the day''. The IMPLICATION here is that this was God's habitual practice.
Enoch (Gen.5:22), Noah (Gen.6:9), and Abraham (Gen.24:40) all are said to have ''walked with God.'' I know that ''walked with God'' means MORE than literally walking, but I like to apply it literally for the purposes of prayer.
I know this is not possible for everyone, but there are many benefits to walking and praying. First, we feel guilty for not p ...
