How does Jesus teach us to go deeper in our asking when we pray?
-
I think that Jesus teaches us to give God all of our asks. He wants us to have a deep relationship and to be able to go to him with every groaning.
-
Our prayers should not be only give me but must be a prayer of thanksgiving and honor to God and wanting to develop a more personal relationship with Him. God wants to spend time with us and by our praying we are establishing a relationship of gratefulness and understanding of what God wants from us.
-
The way is to place the focus on the Kingdom and get the focus of of self. When we ask it should be according to what God has revealed to us in scripture. Whatever that we ask for we must approach God in humility and walk in the path of forgiveness of others.
-
Jesus gives us a structure to come into the presence of God by properly addressing Him with the honor He deservers. Then ask him to meet our needs and guide us each day.
-
Jesus tells us to seek, to knock, and we will find. We don’t give up. He told the parable of the persistent widow in Luke 18 : when we have real needs and not selfish desires, we continue to seek God’s face. If we follow the template of the Lord’s Prayer, we will pray in the will of God. We acknowledge who He is, desire the realization of His kingdom and His will above all. And we ask to cover our needs recognizing our weaknesses and requesting His help. It’s turning to God in complete dependence and adoration.
