Asking God for Bread for Sinners – “Lord, Teach Us to Pray” (The Prayer Motivator Devotional #141) - Ministry Videos

Prayer Motivator Devotional Broadcast #141

Our prayer motivator verse from the Word of God today is 1 Chronicles 16:11 which reads: “Seek the LORD and his strength, seek his face continually.”

Our prayer motivator quote today is from Leonard Ravenhill. He said, “The true church lives and moves and has its being in prayer.”

Our prayer motivator devotional today is titled ASKING GOD FOR BREAD FOR SINNERS – “LORD, TEACH US TO PRAY” from Dr. John R. Rice. Dr. Rice said…

The disciples often heard Jesus pray. Luke 9:18 says, “And it came to pass, as he was alone praying, his disciples were with him…” So in Luke 11:1 we find that the disciples quietly waited while Jesus poured out His heart in prayer: “And it came to pass, that, as he was praying in a certain place, when he ceased, one of his disciples said unto him, Lord, teach us to pray, as John also taught his disciples.”

There was nothing formal nor ordinary in the prayer of Jesus. To hear Jesus pray would carry one, surely, into the very Holy of Holies! Can you imagine the groanings, the tears, the happy, child-like faith, the urgency with which Jesus prayed? How the disciples marveled and grew hungry-hearted as they heard Jesus pray!

I do not know other things that were in the prayer Jesus prayed, but I know one note that could not be lacking. He was come to seek and to save that which was lost. It was to this end that He was born.
