Subject: WHY SHOULD WE PRAY

Then cometh Jesus with them unto a place called Gethsemane, and saith unto the disciples, Sit ye here, while I go and pray yonder.


And he took with him Peter and the two sons of Zebedee, and began to be sorrowful and very heavy.


Then saith he unto them, My soul is exceeding sorrowful, even unto death: tarry ye here, and watch with me

And he went a little further, and fell on his face, and prayed, saying, O my Father, if it be possible, let this cup pass from me: nevertheless not as I will, but as thou wilt.


And he cometh unto the disciples, and findeth them asleep, and saith unto Peter, What, could ye not watch with me one hour?


Watch and pray, that ye enter not into temptation: the spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak.


He went away again the second time, and prayed, saying, O my Father, if this cup may not pass away from me, except I drink it, thy will be done.


And he came and found them asleep again: for their eyes were heavy.


And he left them, and went away again, and prayed the third time, saying the same words.

SUMMARIES
The disciples observed the profound effect prayer had in Jesus’ life and ministry. They witnessed
how Jesus would often go off by himself to spend time in prayer with his heavenly Father. They
saw the power, peace and tranquility that emanated from his life, giving him the ability to stay
calm in troubled circumstances. Jesus prayer life so impressed these men that they asked him to
teach them to pray (the prayer he taught them is known as the Lord Prayer). If the perfect Son of
God often took time to pray during his life here on earth, how much more do we, mere men and
women, need to pray
