1. Lesson 7 for
May 16, 2015

3. Jesus was divine, and He was
one with the Father and the
Holy Spirit. Nevertheless, He
needed prayer in order to be in
contact with His Father. He
received comfort and guidance
from Him through prayer. We
find Jesus praying all through
the book of Luke.
He prayed at His
baptism (Luke 3:21)
He prayed before
choosing the twelve
apostles (Luke 6:12-13)
He prayed for His
disciples (Luke 9:18)
He prayed before the
transfiguration
(Luke 9:28-36)
He prayed at
Gethsemane
(Luke 22:39-46)
He prayed when He was
dying (Luke 23:46)
If the Son of God needed to pray in order to be in communion
with His Father, then we really need to live a life of prayer!

4. • God as personal, real, loving and
caring as a (perfect) human father.
Our Father
• God is holy and real. He is far above
us, but still fully approachable
through prayer.
in heaven
• We sanctify God’s name by reflecting
His character in our lives.
Hallowed be Your
name
• Both Jesus’ kingdom on this earth
through His Church and the
everlasting kingdom of glory that will
come at His Second Coming.
Your kingdom come

5. • God’s will is obeyed in heaven. We are
partially responsible for His will being
obeyed on Earth too.
Your will be done on
earth as it is in
heaven
• We admit that God is the source of
everything we have. He supplies all
our needs.
Give us day by day
our daily bread
• There is no salvation without
forgiveness. We must forgive as we’ve
been forgiven.
And forgive us our
sins, for we also
forgive everyone who
is indebted to us
• God is the only one who can deliver us
from evil. He gives us strength to
overcome temptation.
And do not lead us
into temptation, but
deliver us from the
evil one

6. A“And He said to them, Which of you
shall have a friend, and go to him at
midnight and say to him, ‘Friend, lend
me three loaves; for a friend of mine
has come to me on his journey, and I
have nothing to set before him’; and
he will answer from within and say,
‘Do not trouble me; the door is now
shut, and my children are with me in
bed; I cannot rise and give to you’? I
say to you, though he will not rise
and give to him because he is his
friend, yet because of his persistence
he will rise and give him as many as
he needs.” (Luke 11:5-8)
Insisting in prayer doesn’t change God’s
will but strengthens our faith. “Pray
without ceasing.” (1Ts. 5:17)

7. B “If a son asks for bread from any father
among you, will he give him a stone? Or if he
asks for a fish, will he give him a serpent
instead of a fish? Or if he asks for an egg,
will he offer him a scorpion? If you then,
being evil, know how to give good gifts to
your children, how much more will your
heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to those
who ask Him!”
(Luke 11:11-13)
This parable shows God’s
willingness to give us
everything that’s good for us.
There’s only one condition,
just ask Him.

8. C
“Two men went up to the temple to pray, one a Pharisee and the
other a tax collector. The Pharisee stood and prayed thus with
himself, ‘God, I thank You that I am not like other men—
extortioners, unjust, adulterers, or even as this tax collector. I
fast twice a week; I give tithes of all that I possess.’ And the
tax collector, standing afar off, would not so much as raise his
eyes to heaven, but beat his breast, saying, ‘God, be merciful to
me a sinner!’ I tell you, this man went down to his house justified
rather than the other; for everyone who exalts himself will be
humbled, and he who humbles himself will be exalted.” (Luke 18:10-14)
Humbleness, repentance and a
broken heart are fundamental
when we come to the throne of
grace to obtain mercy and to
find help in time of need
(Hebrews 4:16).

9. “You are to pray. Jesus would not have enjoined this
upon you, unless there was actual necessity for it. It
is well known to Him that of yourself you cannot
overcome the many temptations of the enemy, and
the many snares laid for your feet. He has not left
you alone to do this; but has provided a way that you
can obtain help. Therefore He has bid you to pray.”
E.G.W. (Lift Him Up, December 20)
