More than any other part of his ministry, Jesus’ prayers inform and
engage his intentions for how the gospel would change lives and affect
the world. When we take time to review the moments when Jesus prayed
with his disciples or went away to pray alone, we engage both a story
and a set of lessons. Jesus doesn’t just pray as a means to be with the
Father; he uses prayer as an instructional. Discover Jesus’ own hopes
and desires when he prayed for us to
Have a relationship with the Father
Be shaped by God’s wisdom and guidance
Be united with one another
Bring glory to God
Have consistency in our spiritual life
What the Prayers of Jesus Tell Us About the Heart of God refines our
understanding of Jesus’ plans for his disciples (both in that first
century and for every century to follow). By witnessing even the most
intimate moments between the Father and the Son, we can learn something
about the big plan God has for our lives.
