Have you ever felt that you have a weak prayer life?
It is like you are pushing a rock but nothing is happening?
Point 1 - Prayer is a Mystery
Prayer is a paradox
Prayer is simple - you have not because you ask not
Prayer is complex - Paul asked for the thorn in his side removed
Prayer is important - Jesus prayed daily
Prayer is common - any child can pray
Prayer is powerful - Prayer can be for healing of cancer
Prayer is basic - Prayer can be for healing a headache
So lets learn about it
Luke 11:1-4
“Disciples seek a Vibrant prayer life.”
Point 2 - Knowing is’t Enough
Jesus hides the truth in simple stories called parables.
Luke 11:5-13
Needs vs wants
This is a Parable of contrast - we need to contrast what known about God against this truth
Another parable about prayer that reveals the same truth is found in
Luke 18:1-8
Point 3 - Never Stop Praying
Is God un just - No! This is another contrast
When you do this everyday it changes YOU!
Point 4 - Prayer Changes You!
If you pray for the same thing everyday those prayers change you.
The boy pushing the bolder!
Your prayer life makes you stronger.
