Why do we pray?

Why Do We Pray?

From the following scriptures, tell the action Jesus took, the setting and what he is doing there.

Matthew 14:13 ________________________________________________________________

Matthew 14:23 ________________________________________________________________

Mark 1:35 ­­­­­­­­­­­­­­____________________________________________________________________

Mark 6:45 ____________________________________________________________________

Luke 4:42 _____________________________________________________________________

Luke 5:15-16 __________________________________________________________________

Luke 6:12 _____________________________________________________________________

Luke 22:41 ____________________________________________________________________

What is Jesus doing in all of these Scriptures? ______________________________

Did it matter to Jesus what time it was when he prayed and should it matter to us?

___________________________________________________________________________

Did it matter to Jesus who was around when he prayed and should it matter to us?

_____________________________________________________________________

Did Jesus become frustrated with interruptions to his prayer time, do you?

____________________________________________________________________

We pray because Jesus prayed and showed us how. What is one way you can pray like Jesus did this week in your life?

This lesson is not to go over different kinds of prayer or the benefits of praying, rather it is tackling the question as to why we pray in the first place.
