I don’t want to spend any time talking about what prayer is or how we should go about it before I even convince you that we should be praying.
So why should we pray?
I think this is a pretty easy question to answer. Jesus commands it. There are a few verses that explicitly command prayer: Matthew 6:5-15, Matthew 26:41, Ephesians 6:18 and Luke 18:1. I want to look a little closer at the verse in Luke today.
”Then Jesus told his disciples a parable to show them that they should always pray and not give up” (Luke 18:1). If we strive to be disciples of Jesus, then we should always pray. Being a disciple is essential to being “in Jesus,” just like our memory verse says. If we commit ourselves to constant prayer, than we can become a new creation.
Seems like a pretty easy step right? All we have to do is pray! Tomorrow we’ll talk about what that looks like.
