Lord Jesus, Teach Me to Pray Consistently and Seek You Above All Else | Morning Prayer

before we pray I'd like to share a short message and then we'll pray together when you think about how to start your day ask yourself what did Jesus do if you reflect on the life of our Lord and savior you'll discover a profound truth Jesus prayed he prayed often and consistently Jesus didn't just pray in moments of need prayer was his lifestyle Mark 1:35 tells us 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 this was no occasional habit

it was a priority throughout his ministry Jesus demonstrated that prayer wasn't just about asking for things it was about aligning himself with the father's will Luke 5:16 says so he himself often withdrew Into the Wilderness and prayed notice the word often Jesus made it a point to retreat from the noise of the world and seek Solitude with his father he showed us that mornings with their Stillness and quiet are the perfect time to listen and speak to God not only did Jesus pray early but he also prayed persistently in Luke 6:12 we read one of

those days Jesus went out to a mountain side to pray and spent the night praying to God Jesus didn't limit prayer to specific times or occasions when you pray like Jesus you're not just following a ritual you're embracing a relationship Matthew 6: 9-13 gives you the Lord's Prayer as a model reminding you to honor God's name seek his will and rely on him for your daily needs start your mornings with gratitude surrender and a request for God's guidance these simple acts transform your mindset and prepare you to face whatever the day may bring and now
