The Place of Prayer (1 of 6)
Series: Understanding and Practicing Prayer
Dan Rodgers
Genesis 4:26, Psalm 66:18, Matthew 6:6
INTRODUCTION:
1. This evening I want to begin a six-part series on "Understanding and Practicing Prayer." I will be using the word "prayer" as an acrostic for my messages:
The P lace of prayer
The R epetition of prayer
The A nswers to prayer
The Y ielding in prayer
The E ntrance of prayer

2. There is a time when we need to get alone with God - just God and me.
a. When we go to the men's retreat at Lucerne, one of the special times is the time they set aside for private prayer. They call it "God and I Time."
b. Even Jesus felt the need to get alone and pray. Matthew 14:23, "And when he had sent the multitudes away, he went up into a mountain apart to pray: and when the evening was come, he was there alone." ILLUSTRATION: It is said that for five days a w ...
