A Solitary Place!

Mark 1: 35

“Very early in the morning, while it was still dark, Jesus got up, left the house and went off to a solitary place, where he prayed”

Followers of Jesus, often ask why it’s important to pray.

I guess if Jesus lived a life of prayer, maybe so should we.

The Bible describes many events where Jesus prayed.

Jesus prayed for guidance—He prayed for his friends and all believers—Jesus prayed prayers of praise—He prayed prayers of thanksgiving.

His prayer posture was always a reverent one—and we know that He prayed during trying times of anguish.

Let’s not forget the time He taught the disciples how to pray, when he taught them what we know to be, The Lord’s Prayer.

I’ll bet the first time the disciple heard Jesus pray the Lord’s Prayer—there was much more excitement than there is in the church today, when it’s prayed aloud.

It’s plain to see, that Jesus loved the Father, and communicated with Him quite often.

One thing Jesus prayed with, that most folks don’t display in their prayer life these days—was that He prayed with great expectation.

Do you pray expectant prayers?

Thought should be the goal of every believer.

I hear people pray from time to time—at least those who are willing to pray audibly—but I don’t often hear people pray expectantly.

I’ll bet if we learned to pray expectantly, we might have more results in our prayer life, than we have right now…..
