We know the Lord’s prayer (Matthew 6:9-13), but are we praying the “Disciple’s Prayer”? In John 17, Jesus prays for His disciples, in whom He invested His life. Ultimately He would entrust to them the Great Commission (Matthew 28:18-20) and the gospel's advance (Matthew 24:14). Behind Jesus’ prayer are some principles about how to pray for those we disciple. Here are eight words to help you pray for your disciples.

Learn to pray like Jesus in this three-day study through The Lord's Prayer from Matthew 6.

This plan walks through the Lord's Prayer in Matthew 6:9–13, where Jesus teaches us how to pray.

Prayer is an intimate conversation with God. But how do we pray? Why do we pray? Does God hear our prayers?  In the 6th Chapter of Matthew, Jesus gives us detailed instructions on prayer, including the Lord's Prayer. This study from The Preacher's Outline & Sermon Bible digs deep into Jesus's words in verses 5-24, examining our motives and attitudes about prayer, and teaching us how to pray.

In a world that’s constantly changing, constantly confusing, and very often wrong, the Bible is an anchor—the foundation of our life. It’s God talking to us, His instructional manual for living. Matthew 24:35 says, “Heaven and earth will pass away, but My words will never pass away.” When we read the Bible regularly, we can get to know God in a deeper way and live a supernatural life!

Building your spiritual life is similar to constructing a skyscraper. In Matthew 7:24-25, Jesus said people who hear His words and put them into practice are like a wise man who builds his house on the rock. Unless we have a foundation anchored on Jesus Christ, the Solid Rock, we’re likely to fall apart when life challenges us with unexpected events and everyday pressures.

Times are tough. Anxiety can grow inside us like a contagion as we battle external stress and internal doubt. Jesus knew that the better we know our Father, the less reason we’ll have to be anxious. In Matthew 6, Jesus draws us back to our Father, the One who sees us, knows our needs, and provides hope.

I believe that this next week we have together will be wonderful! We’re starting a series of 7 texts to learn how to seek the Kingdom of God, based on Matthew 6:33.

What did Jesus mean when he said, "Seek first the Kingdom of God"? Explore these famous words of Jesus found in Matthew 6:33, and consider his way of valuing love and life more than status and wealth. Jesus never minimizes physical needs, but he helps us rethink the things we often love most.

One of the greatest struggles many Christians face has nothing to do with the avoidance or rejection of any one sin, but rather with the neglect of intentional, meaningful prayer. Setting aside the time to pray can be a challenge. What’s more, making sure to pray the right way and for the right reasons (Matthew 6:5-18) can be just as challenging. “Being P.R.A.Y.E.R.F.U.L.” is designed with such challenges in mind.
