Day 4 - Wednesday, August 10, 2022 Models of Prayer
Luke 11:1-2 (NLT)
As Jesus was teaching, His disciples were watching Him. When He finished teaching, they asked Him to teach them to pray
Matthew 6:9-13 (NIV) The Lord’s Prayer passage.
Of all the models of prayer, it follows 4 basic themes.
If you didn’t have one of our Pray First Prayer Guides available to you and you wanted to know how you could pray productively and passionately, here are 4 areas.
Adoration and Worship:
Let’s pause on stepping into business with the Father and go straight into Worship and adore Him. Worship Him and adore His name. Communicate with Him like you would another person.
God enjoys it when we worship and tell Him how much we love Him.
Confession and Transformation:
What I don’t want in me and then what I do want in me. Confess to God about the things that maybe you’ve allowed to enter your life and ask for Him to remove it. You don’t want it. But then ask God for that transformation that will bring good and godly things into your life.
God’s Kingdom and agenda.
I need to think about His requests before I give Him mine. Seek first the Kingdom (Matt. 6:33)
I want to pray for His agenda and the things He loves.
I pray then warfare prayers and resist the devil asking God for His protection and presence.
My agenda and requests.
When I get to my requests, I think of 4 areas.
Leaders, family, job or school and our church.
I want you to engage in prayer. Have a prayer list and pray through that list.
Come to prayer with more to do than time to do it.
I desire to come to prayer with an hour’s worth of material and only 25 minutes to do it.
Come locked and loaded for prayer.
Ephesians 6:18 (GW) Pray in the Spirit in every situation. Use every kind of prayer and request there is. For the same reason be alert. Use every kind of effort and make every kind of request for all of God’s people.
In every situation. Use every kind of prayer. During Saturday prayers when I am in between thoughts of those I’m praying for, remain active in prayer. If you have a private prayer language, pray in spirit. Paul said to pray using every kind of prayer.
May we be active people of prayer!
