How does Jesus teach us to go deeper in our asking when we pray?
-
Jesus taught us the Lords Prayer, to recognize God and the His Kingdom with holy reverence first, then to ask for forgiveness as we forgive others- to save us from Satan.
-
The Lord’s prayer is a model for us to follow. First, God wants us to acknowledge His holiness and pray all people would do the same. Secondly, we should want the advancement of His kingdom on earth. People would be brought into His kingdom by accepting Christ as their Savior. Thirdly, the will of God for mankind should be our desire. Fourthly, God wants us to ask for all our needs down to the most intimate details. Fifthly, we should seek God for His protection from evil. Sixthly, when we ask God for His forgiveness, it should cause us to search ourselves for those whom we need to forgive.
-
By giving us a template known as the Lord’s Prayer, he is telling us we must first pray according to God’s will and secondly prayer is more than just asking for things. We must pray for our daily needs; to seek forgiveness for our sins and help to forgive others; and to help us when temptations come our way.
