How does Jesus teach us to go deeper in our asking when we pray?
-
Because it puts our will along side His will.
-
After He encouraged us to ask in our prayer, He taught us How to ask in the right order and for the right things in the Lord’s prayer. He also taught and led by example – He walked the talk.
-
He wants us to pray big. To talk to him about everything throughout the day. To seek his face no matter how big or small the situation.

Matthew 6:5-13 is a template for prayer.
When we pray we are talking to Him – not to impress an audience. ( verses 5,6)
Verses 9-11 focuses on God. We marvel at His majesty. Je urges us to see life through spiritual lenses. He teaches us to request that His will be done in all things. Verses 11 and 12 shows us what to ask for ourselves. No request for help is too small or too big. We are to remind our selves of how he has forgiven us and to extend that grace to others. He assures us that He will help us to do what is right. -
From “The Lord’s Prayer”, we were taught to pray with begins all about God to acknowledged His sovereignty and remembering His kingdom. In our prayer it is all about putting God’s first instead of all about our own affairs. Our needs also to present it to God and to ask Him leading and teaching us on the right way.
