How Jesus Personally Prayed - by Joan Simpson



Matthew 25:41 Watch and pray, that you enter not into temptation:  the spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak.  

Jesus Christ, the Son of God, believed in prayer.  Christ showed Himself to be a person of persistant prayer.  Prayer was his mission.

JESUS LED THE WORLD IN PRAYER:
     At His baptism (Matthew 4)
     At the transfiguration (Matthew 17)
     The Garden of Gethsemane (Matthew 26)
     The Cross (Luke 23)

JESUS PRAYED BEFORE DAYBREAK:
Mark 1:35, And in the morning, rising up a great while before day, he went out and departed into a solitary place, and there prayed.

JESUS SPENT ENTIRE NIGHTS IN PRAYER:
Luke 6:12, And it came to pass in those days, that he went out into a mountain to pray, and continued all night in prayer to God.

PRAYER WAS JESUS’ COMMUNION, INISPIRATION & STRENGTH:
Matthew 26:41, Watch and pray, that you enter not into temptation:  the spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak.


Luke 18:1 .  . . men ought always to pray, and not to faint.
