Prayer RULED Jesus' life. In fact, the Word even gives us an example in Mark's account that Jesus got up very early in the morning while it was still dark to go to a solitary place and pray.
He prayed about important decisions. In Luke 6:12 we find out that he spent the night praying before he chose the twelve apostles.
He was very persistent in praying. Luke 18:1 tells us that Jesus used a parable to show his disciples that they should always pray and never give up. The widow kept bothering the judge and ended up granting her justice.
He prayed for others and let them know specifically what He prayed for. But I have prayed for you, Simon, that your faith may not fail. And when you have turned your back, strengthen your brothers. (Luke 22:32)
He taught others how to pray. Sometimes, especially as women, we tend to clam up when we are asked to lead a prayer in our ladies' classes. You might just be the person who could teach someone how to do this. (Luke 11:1-2)
Prayer is ALWAYS answered. The answer might not be what YOU are wanting, but God knows what is best...Be prepared for YES, NO, and YES but you need to WAIT.
