Jesus prayed at His baptism--Luke 3:21–22

Now when all the people were baptized, it came to pass, that Jesus also being baptized, and praying, the heaven was opened,
And the Holy Ghost descended in a bodily shape like a dove upon him, and a voice came from heaven, which said, Thou art my beloved Son; in thee I am well pleased.

Jesus prayed in the morning before heading to Galilee--Mark 1:35–36

And in the morning, rising up a great while before day, he went out, and departed into a solitary place, and there prayed.
And Simon and they that were with him followed after him.

Jesus prayed after healing people--Luke 5:15-16

Yet the news about him spread all the more, so that crowds of people came to hear him and to be healed of their sicknesses.
But Jesus often withdrew to lonely places and prayed.

Jesus prayed all night before choosing His 12 disciples--Luke 6:12–13

And it came to pass in those days, that he went out into a mountain to pray, and continued all night in prayer to God.
And when it was day, he called unto him his disciples: and of them he chose twelve, whom also he named apostles;

Jesus prayed while speaking to the Jewish leaders--Matthew 11:25–26

At that time Jesus answered and said, I thank thee, O Father, Lord of heaven and earth,
because thou hast hid these things from the wise and prudent,
and hast revealed them unto babes.
Even so, Father: for so it seemed good in thy sight.

Jesus prayed before walking on water--Matthew 14:22-23

Immediately Jesus made the disciples get into the boat and go on ahead of him to the other side, while he dismissed the crowd.
After he had dismissed them, he went up on a mountainside by himself to pray.

Jesus prayed before Peter called Him "the Christ"--Luke 9:18

And it came to pass, as he was alone praying, his disciples were with him: and he asked them, saying,
Whom say the people that I am?

Jesus prayed at the Transfiguration--Luke 9:28–29

And it came to pass about an eight days after these sayings, he took Peter and John and James, and went up into a mountain to pray.
And as he prayed, the fashion of his countenance was altered, and his raiment was white and glistering.

Jesus prayed before teaching His disciples the Lord's Prayer--Luke 11:1

And it came to pass, that, as he was praying in a certain place, when he ceased,
one of his disciples said unto him, Lord, teach us to pray, as John also taught his disciples.

Amen!

Hi Koffee, Once 4All and Lisa(if you're around tonight)!!!

Oh, and I want to Praise The Lord for sharing water and swimming pools and my swimsuit that covers my upper thighs so I can be more confident and for young people who spend their summer being lifeguards and are so kind to my son.

We went swimming today and it was wonderful. I have always loved swimming in the clear, clean water at the swimming pool. I didn't want the town to spend the money on that pool when they were going to build it, but it sure is a blessing since they have. So, I praise The Lord that we got to go swimming as a family and that we had an AWESOME time. Yeah!!!

Hi!

Sounds like you had wonderful time!! We have so much to be grateful for, don't we?

Stay cool!!

Thank you almighty God of great judgment , Omen

I'm praying now....that everyone now praying ruptures into their respective heaven and leave this thred and the rest of us alone!!!

Father in Heaven,

There are many evil entities in this world disguising themselves as good, as love and light.

They cover up their evil by doing acts of goodness-charity-but their hearts and intent is far from the truth that You speak of.

We, as Your children, who are washed in the Blood of Your Son, thank You for Your protection.

Mighty is Your Power, oh Lord! You have seen all--from the beginning to the end!

Holy Spirit enlighten us so that we may become more than just bumps on a log and rise above the drudgery of our day.

SET US ON FIRE FOR CHRIST and His Kingdom and may this Kingdom come soon!

Give us Your spiritual eyes and ears, Lord, so we may run this race able to see the obstacles the enemy puts before us.

May all Glory be brought to You, Father, from Your children in Christ, Amen.

This song is unrelated to prayer, but I just wanted to share it because it is beautifully sung:

Die Gedanken Sind Frei - Thoughts Are Free

Lyrics and history of the song are very interesting.

Enjoy!

Jesus prays for all believers

“My prayer is not for them alone. I pray also for those who will believe in me through their message,
that all of them may be one, Father, just as you are in me and I am in you.
May they also be in us so that the world may believe that you have sent me.

I have given them the glory that you gave me, that they may be one as we are one — I in them and you in me—
so that they may be brought to complete unity.
Then the world will know that you sent me and have loved them even as you have loved me.

“Father, I want those you have given me to be with me where I am, and to see my glory,
the glory you have given me because you loved me before the creation of the world.

“Righteous Father, though the world does not know you, I know you, and they know that you have sent me.

John 17: 20-25

Thank You for this day, Heavenly Father, another day in which we can rejoice and walk in Your presence.

Ephesians 3:14-21

For this reason I kneel before the Father, from whom his whole family in heaven and on earth derives its name.

I pray that out of his glorious riches he may strengthen you with power through his Spirit in your inner being,
so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith.

And I pray that you, being rooted and established in love, may have power, together with all the saints,
to grasp how wide and long and high and deep is the love of Christ, and to know this love that surpasses
knowledge-that you may be filled to the measure of all the fullness of God.

Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us,
to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, for ever and ever! Amen.

"I think as I please and this gives me pleasure,
My conscience decrees this right I must treasure,

My thoughts will not cater to duke or dictator,
No man can deny, Die Gedanken Sind Frei!"

When will the religious minded wake up to the fact - they have been duped.

We KNOW Jesus. We KNOW we have Eternal Life.

You have an incorrect opinion.

Understand yet?

Dear AC, First, thank you and the rest of Canada for producing Rush and other great bands. Second, please do not equate religion with knowing Jesus Christ. It is a vitally, eternally important distinction.

Create in me a pure heart, O God, and renew a steadfast spirit within me.

Do not cast me from your presence or take your Holy Spirit from me.

Restore to me the joy of your salvation and grant me a willing spirit, to sustain me.

Psalm 51:10-12

Love this scripture!

One of the most important things that Jesus modeled for His disciples was getting away to spend time in prayer with God.

God wants us to pray!

Pray without ceasing. 1 Thessalonians 5:17

Be joyful in hope, patient in affliction, faithful in prayer. Romans 12:12

Devote yourselves to prayer, being watchful and thankful. Colossians 4:2

Even now, when you are through reading this, pray, even if it is just to say "Thank You, Father".

Me too! It's simple, yet has all the basic ingredients for a relationship with our Savior.
