Lessons 2 Review: Teach us to pray

Introduction

Memory Text: “Now it came to pass, as He was praying in a certain place, when He ceased, that one of His disciples said to Him, ‘Lord, teach us to pray, as John also taught his disciples’ ” (Luke 11:1, NKJV).

A belief that only spontaneous, unlearned prayer is real prayer appears to be prevalent among some Christians. It was one of the best requests that the disciple pleaded from their master, teach us how to Pray and it was granted unto them.

What does this mean to us if we ask according to the will of God?

Prayers move mountain is sure and certain but what if we don't know what to pray about or what to ask God for we must humble ourselves to learn better from God.

How are we to apply the book of Psalms in our prayers?

sometimes we flip the scriptures looking for a suitable passage that will suit our prayers but a contrite heart doth God had pleasure because He owns us and He knows the thoughts of every human whom He created and there's nothing we can hide from Him.

what does it mean to let the word of Christ dwell in you richly (col 3:16)?

Apostles Paul concrete the hearts of Christians in Colossians helping them to know that if their hearts are full of the word of God then there will be no room for yielding to temptation but they'll all overcome.

how can we trust or depend on God in Times of Trouble?

Psalms 84:12. O LORD of hosts, blessed is the man that trusteth in thee.  Our patriarchs like Abraham, Hezekiah, David and so others trusted in God and reached out to them and delivered them, they also left a footprint message to us in this Generation whatever situations we face trusting in the Lord should be our greatest desire as God never forsake us amidst in troublous time.

A Psalm of Despair

Psalms is the book in the Bible that will help us to appear before God and present our sorrow before the caring Saviour.

what moral lesson can we obtain from Job’s trust in God and his suffering?

the man named Job has left to us what it means to trust in God despite his hard times and suffering believing that the one who owns his breath will not fail him.

From Despair to Hope

Sometimes God puts these trials before our very path not to harm us but to test our loyalty to Him.

Amidst our trials, how can trials draw us close to God?

God asks Jeremiah, can a suckling mother forsake her child?  Yes, but I the Lord of Israel will not forget or forsake you, God is ever closer to us than before we see and believe by faith that God dwells in and within us.

Oh, Restore Us Again

Sometimes we may experience hardship or affliction, it may be as a result of Rebellion and stubbornness toward God that God gives us to our enemies so that we can return to Him with Repentance.

Whom and what can we do to a Friend who has gone astray that needs to be Restored by God?

In our hymnals, we have a song titled I Need the Prayers of Those I Love, we all have friends who need our prayers which is more important than anything else in our spare time we pray for them, visit them and encourage them with the word of God as well it will be a joy to us when we see how God Restore them to the Glory of God.

In Conclusion,

God is still involved in the work of saving souls from Darkness to His marvelous light, it is not in His plan to see His children afflicted or to the point of sorrow but our coming is a rope that draws us back away from God but His word has granted us Victory through His Blood in Jesus' name.
