Prayer pt 2 - What Should We Pray?
In this message we explore the Lord's Prayer as a guide for the content of our own prayer. Jesus' example of prayer for His disciples is rich in meaning and helps us to develop our own prayer life in a healthy and effective way. We also take time to explore James 5:13-18 - a passage that speaks beautifully of the power of prayer, but is often sadly misused and misunderstood to reinforce an attitude and expectation in prayer which only fosters self-centredness and ultimately leads to disillusionment. We take a closer look at the text itself as well as the wider counsel of Scripture to better understand how prayer for healing is taught in God's Word and was practiced in both Old and New Testaments.
