Jesus Prayed

Memorize: This, then, is how you should pray: “Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your name, your kingdom come, your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven. Give us today our daily bread and forgive us our debts, as we also have forgiven our debtors, and lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from the evil one.” Matthew 6:9-13 NIV

Focus Daily: “One of those days Jesus went out to a mountainside to pray, and spent the night praying to God. When morning came, He called his disciples to him and chose twelve of them, whom He also designated apostles.” Luke 6:12-13 NIV

Focus Questions: Jesus prayed all night then chose the disciples. Why pray all night? Why couldn’t he just choose them based on his own resources? What is our hero modeling for us?

Today, pray through each section of the Lord’s Prayer through the framework of your nation. It could be your city, state, or the country. See yourself as a part of this much greater whole. Observe how seeing the prayer through this lens changes it for you. Identify and pray for leaders by name including leaders with whom you may disagree.
