A PRAYER TO BE LIKE JESUS IN PASSIONATE PRAYER.

“There was something about His life that riveted the attention of the disciples as they observed Him from day to day. They saw Him pray over individuals with profound effect. They watched Him in the intimate moments of His personal times with the Father. There was such vibrancy, such joy in His time alone with God that He would come forth from them refreshed as from a couch of rest. So intrigued were the disciples that they would occasionally inquire about that dynamic and Jesus would instruct them.”Jesus was passionate in prayer. We see it in the way He lived. Intimacy with the Father was the theme of His life. Jesus is our teacher and life example. He prioritized prayer daily. It was important to Him, and He has much to teach us about prayer. No wonder his disciples called upon Him to teach them to pray. Notice they didn’t ask Him to teach them how to preach but how to pray! He taught by example, He taught by passion, and He taught by words. The heartbeat of Jesus was for prayer and communion with the Father.

My Prayer to be Like Jesus in Passionate

Prayer Lord, You were passionate in prayer. Teach me to pray like You. I ask You to help me become a better prayer warrior and worship  for Your glory and the furtherance of Your Kingdom. Help me to grow deeper in prayer this year than I ever have grown before. I want to pray for others just like You prayed for your disciples in John 17. Help me to be concerned in my prayers, asking for their safety, sanctification, and protection. Help me to love the way You love. I ask that You would help me to apply Your pattern and model of prayer into my life on a daily basis. Help me to worship You in spirit and in truth (John 4:23-24) and without pride and selfish ambition (Luke 18:13-14). Help me to pray in faith and without doubting (Hebrews 11:6). Increase my faith to pray confident prayers, supernatural prayers in Your name. Help me to be forgiving towards everyone (Matthew 6:14-16). Help us to be persistent in my prayers and never give up (Luke 11:5-10, 18:1-8). Answer me according to your will. I desire to abide in You with Your words abiding in me. Thank You that in this way I can pray with assurance and know that You will answer my prayers (John 14:13-14). Teach me to practice fasting on a regular basis (Matthew 6:17-18).Jesus, You are my teacher and example. You were passionate when you prayed and you prayed often, even early in the morning (Mark 1:35, Luke 6:12). Bring me into higher dimensions in prayer. You are praying for me today because You always live to make intercession for Your people (Hebrews 7:25). Help me to embrace a life of prayer and devotion to You. Help me to teach others to pray by example and through my words. I ask that I may be passionate in prayer. In Jesus’ name, amen.

3 Point Plan For Prayer.

  3 POINT PLAN FOR PRAYER.

I pray not for the world, but for them which thou hast given me, for they are thine. —John 17:9

Every day I try to pray for the members of my family: my husband Lynn and two college kids far away from home and Kendall who is making her way through high school and my niece Vanessa and Lynn’s parents…the list goes on. I often used to feel that I wasn’t praying effectively for them because I wasn’t always sure of what their specific needs were that day. Frequently I’d finish with the vague regret that I’d forgotten some important things.

That’s why I delighted in the advice of an older woman, a beloved prayer warrior in our church who told me that when praying for others, she always followed Jesus’ pattern of prayer for His disciples described in John 17. At the Last Supper, Jesus asked God to:

• Protect them from the evil one (John 17:15).

• Sanctify them—make them holy—by the Truth of Your Word (John 17:17).

• Unite them to You and to each other that the world might believe (John 17:21).

This pattern of prayer is becoming my new Three-Point Plan when praying for my family. Protect, sanctify and unite are simple but powerful points that are easy to remember. And even when I’m in a hurry, I feel that I’m covering most of the bases.

Father, You have given me a circle of precious people to pray for, and now I discover that You have shown me how to pray for them. Thank You.
