How do we pray?
What is Prayer?
Who hears our Prayers?
Are prayers effective?
Jesus says when you pray
Prayer is:
to speak to or to make requests of God—‘to pray, to speak to God, to ask God for, prayer
Jesus teaches us that we can come to God
This all sufficient, creator of everything, all powerful God allows us to talk to Him
and not just come to Him but we can make requests
It is the same God who spoke this world into existence is the God that we come to with our prayer and requests
what can we bring to this awesome God?
If we are stuck and in need of help no matter what we face God hears our cries
What Kind of God to we come to?
one who is near us when we are brokenhearted
and when we are crushed, He saves us
this is the God that we come to and make our request.
one who binds our broken hearts
one who takes our mourning and our sadness and our discouragement
and gives us Joy and gladness
This is the God who hears our cries and request
A God who is ever present
Our help in times of Trouble
God has given us His spirit
Jesus call the spirit the Helper
The Spirit guides us
The Spirit helps (pres.
tense, “keeps on helping”) us in (the Gr. here does not have the words rendered “us in”) our weakness.
It is not that the Spirit helps in those occasional times when Christians are weak; their state is one of weakness and the Spirit continually helps them.
What is Christian weakness?
The Greek word for weakness (astheneia) may include physical, emotional, and spiritual disability
God helps us in our weakness
His spirit Guides us
and we can come to God
Sick-
pertaining to being ill and, as a result, weak and incapacitated—‘sick, ill, weak, disabled
Weak
The word asthenei literally means “to be weak.”
sick person, literally means “to be weary.”
We can come to God in our weakness
Christ says “ don”t be like the hypocrites”
one who pretends to be other than he really is
verse 8- God knows our needs even before we speak them.”
God wants us to come to Him
Even to the point that He made the way for us to come
What separated us from God Christ took out of the way
