THE PATTERN OF PRAYER - PART 2

Discussed by Pastor Jarrett Stephens
with Champion Forest Baptist Church (www.ChampionForest.org)

Day 1

Pastor Jarrett Stephens began a new sermon series last week entitled: Pray Like Jesus.

In this series, everyone can learn something new about the prayer life of Jesus: his pattern of daily dependence, his prayers for others, his surrender in suffering, and his unwavering trust in the Father.

This week, Pastor Jarrett continues to break down The Lord’s Prayer with four more petitions from Jesus to his Father. He went over the first three last week, so if you missed one of those segments – check out the archives on our home page.

Scripture Passage: Matthew 6:9-13

Questions/Issues Discussed:

FUN FACT: Out of the 25 times that Jesus prayed, we only have the exact words that he prayed 8 or 9 times recorded in the Bible.

How and why is prayer “caught and taught”?

REVIEW:

PETITION #1 IN THE LORD’S PRAYER: God’s Name Will Be Honored
PETITION #2 IN THE LORD’S PRAYER: God’s Kingdom Will Come
PETITION #3 IN THE LORD’S PRAYER: God’s Will to be Done

PETITION #4 IN THE LORD’S PRAYER: A Prayer of Dependence

When is the last time you actually prayed for God to take care of your DAILY needs? Not your wants or desires. Your NEEDS. Tune in tomorrow as Pastor Jarrett shares three ways praying for needs (not wants) helps to grow our faith.

If you have never accepted Jesus Christ as your personal Lord and Savior, text the word JESUS to 77069 and a pastor or counselor from CFBC will call you back.

PRAYER

Discussed by Terry Lowry
with Host of the What's UP Radio Program

Psalm 37:39-40 ESV “The salvation of the righteous is from the Lord; he is their stronghold in the time of trouble. The Lord helps them and delivers them; he delivers them from the wicked and saves them, because they take refuge in him.”

Almighty God, Ruler of the Universe,

We surrender to you and to your son. Shield us from the fiery darts of the evil one. Deliver us from the wicked and save all who take refuge in your name.

We commit all our ways to you, as we wait on you, O Lord.

Plant our feet in the center of the path to our heavenly home. May we not turn to the right or to the left.

We will trust in you, Lord, with all our heart and we will not lean on our own understanding. In all our ways we will submit to you, and you will make our paths straight.

My beloved brothers and sisters, be steadfast, immovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, knowing that our labor is not in vain.

Now, let’s be going, working, and praying for an abundant harvest.

And, Father, if you grant us tomorrow, let’s repeat.

Lifting this prayer through the name of Jesus Christ,

Amen
