“of Jesus' praying, we never see him say these exact words again. Jesus prays many kinds of prayers in fact when we look at the whole bible out of 66 books there are 650 prayers recorded and every one of them are different there's prayers of gratitude prayers of worship prayers of confession and petition of sorrow of deliverance prayers of frustration and prayers of protection and provision and so this isn't the only prayer it's not something that we're to”
Joseph Humphreys · Observing the Power of Prayer“and he cried out and he said, Lord, save me. That's the shortest prayer in the Bible. Have you ever prayed that prayer? Lord, help me. Lord, save me. Yeah, many of us have prayed that prayer. The longest prayer in the Bible is recorded in John chapter 17. Interestingly enough, it is the prayer of Jesus for his disciples and his prayer for us. We are included specifically in the prayer of Jesus in John chapter 17. And so all that I'm saying to you is that as we look at this book, the Bible,”
David H. McKinley · Observing the Power of Prayer“look at today was his prayer. So what do we know about prayer? Well, prayer is the platform of both our private and public praise and worship. Prayer is the lifeline of our sustained daily communion with God. Prayer is the place of intercession for the needs and care of others. prayer is the practice that teaches us dependence on God. And sometimes prayer is the panic button.”
Andrew Bryan · A Prayer From the Deep“perseverance making supplication for the saints how do we do spiritual warfare on our knee in prayer with God and so we see the priority of prayer we see the practices of prayer are honoring God it's asking for God's provision finally the final practice of prayer we get just after the prayer in verse 5 through 13 and that is prayer also is not just about honoring God and asking for”
Joseph Humphreys · Observing the Power of Prayer“out but prayer prayer is not meant to be that way prayer is not transactional prayer is meant to be entirely relational it's not some sort of contract negotiation with god it's relationship with him and yes we ask him but the goal is not the answer to prayer the goal is him it's his peace it's his nature. It's his wisdom. It's his timing. His will and his way in our life. Prayer is not consumption.”
Joseph Humphreys · Observing the Power of Prayer“Very end of this chapter, he actually answered his prayer, but as is often the case, God answers prayer not according to our request, but according to his purpose. So how did the prayer end? How do most prayers end? What word do we say? What is it? Yeah, most prayers end with us kind of, we say our prayer and it ends with amen. Well, this one did not end with amen, but with a burp or a belch”
Andrew Bryan · A Prayer From the Deep“And while prayer shouldn't always only be about me asking, God help me do this, God help me do that, prayer must always include asking because prayer is seeking God to do and to move and to work in ways in which we cannot supply or we cannot guide or direct our lives or the lives of others it was Jesus who taught us when we pray what was the order of business and prayer after we go through that opening preamble of the Lord's prayer he says give us this day our daily that's a specific”
David H. McKinley · The Prayer for Freedom“There's reflective prayers where we're just abiding with the Lord and thinking about what He's done. There's contemplative prayer where we're sitting and listening, waiting for His voice. There's prayers of lament where we grieve. There's prayers of joy and celebration. All of those prayers are called for and appropriate as we pray. He mentions intercessions. This refers to the request that we make on the behalf of others.”
Joseph Humphreys · The Prayer for Freedom“it as something that we say communally and collectively in a church or a small gathering, and that's fine to do that. But when Jesus gave the Lord's Prayer, it was not intended to simply be a prayer that we prayed as if it were a script. It was intended to be a pattern of prayer to shape everything else that we do. And so I want to identify for us five critical practices of prayer that Jesus gives us in this passage. If the prayer is to be a priority,”
David H. McKinley · Observing the Power of Prayer“that prayer is all over the pages of the Bible and prayer is all over the lips of people that are in the Bible. And so prayer is a critical part of our lifeline to God. It was an author, Peter Stark, who said this, prayer is either the greatest insanity or the most wonderful news. Have you thought about that? Prayer is either the greatest insanity in all the world if all we're doing is sitting in a room or sitting in a car or walking along,”
David H. McKinley · Observing the Power of Prayer“the founder of that orphanage said this, only a life of prayer and meditation will render a vessel ready for the master's use. You want your life to matter for God? You want to be used of God? You want to be blessed of God? you cannot do it apart from a vital life of prayer. The priority of prayer is in the life of Jesus. The priority of prayer must be essential in our lives also. But there's something more here, and that's not only the priority of prayer that drove the disciples to say, Lord, teach us to pray,”
David H. McKinley · Observing the Power of Prayer“All that God is and all that God does is at the disposal of prayer, but we must use the key. Prayer can do anything God can do, and as God can do anything, prayer is omnipotent. God takes great joy in giving us the answer we really need, which is his presence. So not only does he answer our prayers, the answer to our prayers every single time is”
Stephen Newman · Observing the Power of Prayer“to beg him to teach them to pray. And so my question is, how's your prayer life? Is prayer a priority of your life like it was in Jesus'? Remember, Jesus is our rabbi. Everything that he is, we are endeavoring to be. And so if prayer was like that in his life, then prayer needs to be like that in ours. Do you have a place of prayer?”
Joseph Humphreys · Observing the Power of Prayer“Prayer is not about you and me and my wants and needs, though those are included in prayer. The first point of prayer, the outsourcing of prayer, begins with a focus on God and who he is. And therefore, this is the pattern of prayer in our lives. it's to lead us to a place of humility and of dependency but that humility and dependency is also linked to a vital relationship that is identified here and that is that we call god”
David H. McKinley · Observing the Power of Prayer“Not a bad prayer, but it's very vague. I think it takes great risk in faith to begin praying prayers that are very specific prayers and are God-sized prayers. And one of the things Trey keeps telling us is, why don't we pray prayers that only God could answer in his power and authority in order that when he does, it's undeniable it's his hand of power and grace, And then we'll give him credit and give him glory anyways.”
Stephen Newman · Observing the Power of Prayer“Prayer is a vital part of the walk and the worship of every Christian. Let me make several statements about prayer as we begin today. Prayer is the platform of both our private and public praise and worship to God. Prayer is the lifeline of our sustained daily communion with God. Prayer is the place of intercession for the needs and the cares of others.”
David H. McKinley · A Prayer From the Deep“well good evening everyone thank you so much for taking a little time out of your week to be here for our evening of prayer it's our prayer that this impacts you that this ignites you if you will to more prayer to a greater depth of prayer it's really our heart that you'll walk away from this evening not just having attended something but having been shaped and changed by prayer and so it seems”

“communicate with people. And in the 66 books of the Bible, there are 650 prayers that are recorded. Prayers of praise, prayers of confession, prayers for protection. There are prayers that are full of hope and prayers for those that are running on empty. Prayers for immediate need and prayers for things in the future. All kinds of prayers are written down throughout scripture. But one consistent thing that we see is prayer is the most powerful form of communication we can have.”
Andrew Skelton · Observing the Power of Prayer“marched up the street to St. Paul's Chapel in New York City. There and then, the entire government, which was much smaller, at its inception knelt in prayer. It was prayer, prayer, and more prayer that began the nation in humility, acknowledging the sovereign God. So the greatest need, I want to say this morning, of our country is prayer, prayer, and more”
Jonathan McNeal · The Prayer of Freedom“our families again our church our community for our friends the people in our lives and so we have to labor in prayer because it's a priority and so I've said a lot about prayer and maybe you've heard a lot about prayer and you know a lot about prayer because you've grown up in the church but I'm going to ask you before we move to the next section, what does your prayer life look like? Like this week, what does your prayer life look like? We're almost halfway through the year. What does it look like, the communion, the conversations that you're having with the Lord?”
Jonathan McNeal · The Prayer of Freedom“when it comes to the matter of prayer. Some of us were taught that a part of the liturgy or the ritual of prayer was that of standing and kneeling whenever a church gathered together, or bedtime prayers that were said on your knees, or maybe prayers around the table where people held hands together. But the real issue in prayer is not the physical posture of your body. The real issue in all prayer is the posture of the heart. And today I want us to hear the heartbeat of the Apostle”
David H. McKinley · United in Prayer“Prayer is not a religious ritual. Prayer is not about words. Prayer is not about the posture of the body. Prayer is about the condition of the heart before God. And prayer is first and foremost an expression of worship. I love the way that Tony Merida said it in his commentary. He said, prayer is not striking a piñata or asking God for goodies.”
David H. McKinley · United in Prayer“Ritual meaning that we just say the same words or words that somebody taught us to pray. Nothing wrong with a learned prayer, but prayer is not to be a ritual. Nor is prayer to be general. God bless me, bless my home, bless my family, bless my business, God bless America. That's not what prayer is intended to be. Nor is prayer intended to be rhetorical, where it's just all about the words and saying them and shaping them. No. Prayer is intended to be intentional, specific, petition, where you ask of God and”
David H. McKinley · United in Prayer“Prayer is the platform of both our private and our public praise and worship. Prayer is the lifeline of our sustained daily communion with God. Prayer is the place of intercession for the needs and cares of others. Prayer is the practice that teaches us dependence, and prayer is the panic button of our last resort. And for some, it's thanking God for food and panic button. That's”
Andrew Skelton · A Prayer From the Deep“Most people think of prayer as like this weird voodoo thing that if you pray the right thing in the right ways, the right things happen. Or some people think prayer is just repeating over and over again. God is great, God is good, let us thank him for our food, amen. But prayer is a communication. Prayer comes from deep within our souls. Prayer comes from the things we go through in life and our reliance upon God. It comes from a humble heart that is surrendered to a powerful, perfect, and loving God.”
