If prayer is just talking to God, then why did Jesus give us a model to follow?

Of course, you can always talk to God, and it is a way of praying for sure. But when the disciples came to Jesus and said, “Lord, teach us to pray,” He didn’t respond, “prayer is just talking to God.” Instead, he said, “This is how you should pray . . .” and then He taught them. This is the part we want to talk about—the how.

If you follow sports at all you’ve probably heard the often-repeated phrase “it’s all about getting back to the fundamentals.” I think the same thing applies regarding prayer. So, maybe it’s time for a review.

In this podcast, Keith goes over some fundamentals of biblical prayer starting with the model Jesus gave us. Keith will look at Jesus' model and the endless ways we can apply it in our everyday lives to let it serve as a foundation—a guide for “all kinds of prayers,” for “all occasions” and praying “in the power of the Spirit.”

To realign with the way Jesus prayed, and the way others prayed in the Bible, can help us become more effective in prayer to see His will and purpose accomplished in our lives, the lives of others, and in the world as well.

While negative thinking and emotions are common to all of us, they’re often not a reliable guide to what’s good, right, or true. You can stop the confusion that ever-changing emotions and destructive patterns of thinking cause. Instead, begin to discern, know, and act on what is true and in keeping with God’s will and purpose for your life. Listen as Keith talks about how Jesus handled his most difficult mental and emotional challenges with God’s Word and authority in order to remain in the Father’s will and fulfill his purpose despite the intense emotions He experienced
