Silently and reverently they looked and listened as their Lord communed with God the Father. They observed in Him a strange separation from the world, a con scious nearness to God, a delight in the Father's presence, and a familiarity in communion with God which seemed to them like heaven upon earth. Seeing and hearing Christ pray must have convinced the disciples that they knew com paratively little about this spiritual exercise. So, they wanted to learn to pray as their Lord prayed. The Plea 11:1 Christ's example emphasized the privilege, power, and blessing of prayer. It also aroused the disciples' sense of . their inability in this realm and filled them with a desire to learn to pray. His example prompted one of the disciples to make the earnest plea, "Lord, teach us to pray." ThePattern-ll:2-4 In answer to that plea, the Lord gave them the prayer which had to do with the whole range of human need. It was a model of brevity, simplicity, and comprehensiveness. In it three things are Indicated relationship, "Our Father,"; reverence, -"Hallowed be Thy name"; and resignation, "Thy will be done." The deepest desire of the heart should be concerned with the Father's name, kingdom, and will. The human side of prayer may be summarized in the follow tag manner: as related to self, the supply of daily bread; as related to God, the removal of guilt; and as related to Satan, victory over his temptations. Christians should pray for everytning they need and, to tne best of their ability, for the needs of others. We should never be backward about asking God to supply our needs. .."ThePrableU:M In these verses Christ gave His disciples a specific lesson on perseverance in praying. How simple, and yet how pro found, is that wonderfully human story. The embarrassed host had a real sense of need. He also had a friend to whom he could go. He firmly believed that his friend would help him. He went to his friend personally and directly. He was specific, persistent, and unselfish in his asking. It was the need of another which caused him to ask. Intercession, which is born of the recognition of the needs of others, is the highest form of prayer. We should be persistent in prayer because God is moved by our asking. Our prayers should in clude a request for daily bread, a plea for forgiveness, and a plea for protection from temptation and deliverance from the power of Satan. The Promises 11:9-13 Christ followed the parable with, the assurance which has comforted the hearts of innumerable people through the centuries. He stressed that Christians should persist in their praying. "Keep on asking and it shall be given to you. Keep on seeking and you shall find. Keep on knocking and it shall be opened to you." This is not a picture of how God answers prayer, but of how the children of God should offer prayer. Just as earthly fathers are ready and willing to give good gifts to their children when they ask for them, our heavenly Father will supply our daily needs if we will earnestly and persistently ask Him to do so. Why should we be slow in claiming such wonderful promises? An important truth in these verses is that God's infinite love is exemplified in His provision for His own. Since wor thy parents can be trusted to give good gifts to their children, how much more will our heavenly Father care for His own. He wants to give His children the things they need. However, He wants His children to ask for the things they need.., Those who have made the greatest impact on the world' , and left the best influence behind them have been men and women of prayer. God certainly wants each of His children to pray sincerely, earnestly, intelligently, definitely, : trustingly, submissively, persistently, and expectantly. The kind of praying which pleases God enriches our lives and greatly benefits others.
