Search the scriptures; for in them ye think ye have eternal life: and they are they which testify of me. ✝ When he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth: ... and he will shew you things to come. He shall glorify me: ... Jesus Christ, who is the Faithful Witness, and the first begotten of the dead, and the prince of the kings of the earth. Unto him that loved us, and washed us from our sins in his own blood, ✝🏃‍♀️🏃 And hath made us kings and priests unto God and his Father; to him be glory and dominion for ever and ever. Amen. John 5:39 John 16:13,14 Revelation 1:5,6

For God hath not appointed us to Wrath, but to obtain Salvation by our Lord Jesus Christ, Who Died for Us, that, whether we wake or sleep, we should live together with him. Who gave himself for us, that he might redeem us from all iniquity, ... For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.

And this is the record, that God hath given to us eternal life, and this life is in his Son. He that hath the Son hath life; and he that hath not the Son of God hath not life. These things have I written unto you that believe on the name of the Son of God; that ye may know that ye have eternal life, and that ye may believe on the name of the Son of God.

From what you know about Israel’s history and Jesus’ mission, why do you think Jesus began His ministry by spending 40 days in the wilderness?
From what you know of Jesus and His purpose, why did He refuse to turn stones into bread?
In Mark 1, Jesus began prayers “very early.” In the immediate context, what makes that time remarkable, and what does this show about Jesus’ prayer life?
Give other examples of how Jesus gave time and attention to prayer.
1 Peter 2:21 states a principle on which this course is based. What is that principle?
What decisive action will you take now, as a result of this lesson?
EXTRA REFERENCES AND NOTES
In this course we learn to pray by watching Jesus, listening to His teachings, and following His example. This focus on Jesus means that most Scripture quotations and references come from the New Testament, especially the Gospel accounts of Matthew, Mark, Luke and John. The Bible, of course, has much more to say about prayer. To show this wider range of Scriptures, we offer Extra References and Notes for some of this course’s subjects. The extra notes are placed at the end, after the last lesson, and are not part of the course itself. No “Thought Questions” depend on extra notes. Instead, we offer these extra notes for the benefit of students who wish to go deeper into God’s word. These extra notes also help leaders who are preparing for classes and presentations.

Suppose that, for your own purposes, you want to look up other Scriptures related to this lesson. In that case, you may wish to start with the topics Relationships and Fasting.

Each topic shows extra Scriptures from the Old Testament (OT) and the New Testament (NT). For a thorough study of a topic, read the course first, then the relevant extra notes. Scriptures in the main courses are not necessarily repeated in the notes.

Relationships OT God made humans for relationships. He visited Adam and Eve in the garden Genesis 3:8. “Enoch walked with God” Genesis 5:22, 24 cf. Hebrews 11:5-6, as did Noah Genesis 6:9, Abraham Genesis 17:1; 24:40, Isaac and Jacob Genesis 48:15, and their faithful descendants Leviticus 26:12; Deuteronomy 11:22; 13:4; Micah 6:8. Abraham often built an altar and “called upon the name of the LORD” Genesis 12:8 cf. 13:4,18; 4:26; he was God’s friend 2 Chronicles 20:7; Isaiah 41:8; James 2:23. Jacob prayed, wrestled, was blessed Genesis 32:24-29. The Psalms are the OT’s prayer guide, often emphasizing a deep, prayerful relationship with God: “My soul thirsts for God, for the living God” Psalm 42:2 cf. Psalm 22:2; 42:8; 55:17; 63:1-8; 77:2; 84:2; 88:1; 103:1; 107:1-32; 139:18; 143:6; Deuteronomy 9:9,18; 1 Samuel 12:23; 1 Kings 19:1-18; Nehemiah 9:3; Daniel 6:10. Greatest command: “You shall love the LORD your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your might” Deuteronomy 6:5 cf. Mark 12:29-30. NT Jesus’ disciples pursued their relationship through prayer Luke 24:52-53; Acts 1:14; 2:42; 6:4; 7:55-60; 13:1-3; 14:23 etc.; Romans 12:11-12; Colossians 4:2. Paul’s relationships with fellow-Christians involved prayer Romans 1:9-10; Ephesians 1:15-19; Philippians 1:3-4; Colossians 1:9-12; 4:2,12; 1 Thessalonians 3:10; 1 Timothy 5:5; 2 Timothy 1:3.

Fasting OT “I sat down and wept and mourned for days, and I continued fasting and praying before the God of heaven” Nehemiah 1:4; “I turned my face to the Lord God, seeking Him by prayer and pleas for mercy with fasting” Daniel 9:3 cf. Psalm 35:13. Fasting with repentance 1 Samuel 7:6; Ezra 10:6; Nehemiah 9:1-2; Psalm 69:10; Joel 2:14; Jonah 3:5-10; Zeal Psalm 69:9-10, intercession Deuteronomy 9:18-20, humility Leviticus 16:29; 23:27-32; Nehemiah 9:1, confession 1 Samuel 7:6; Nehemiah 9:1-2, consecration 1 Samuel 7:6, sorrow 1 Samuel 31:13; 2 Samuel 1:12; 3:35; Daniel 10:2-3; Jeremiah 36:9, urgent need 2 Samuel 12:16; 2 Chronicles 20:3; Ezra 4:16; 8:21-23; Daniel 6:18; Psalm 35:13. NT Anna “worshiping with fasting and prayer night and day” Luke 2:37. “Disciples of John fast often and offer prayers” Luke 5:33. “After fasting and praying they laid their hands on them and sent them off” Acts 13:3. Elders appointed in every church “with prayer and fasting” Acts 14:23. Fasting with Repentance Acts 9:9, zeal Matthew 9:14, consecration Matthew 4:2; Acts 13:3; 14:23 cf. 2 Corinthians 11:27, urgent need Acts 27:33,34. Notice “will” Matthew 9:15, and “when” not “if” Matthew 6:16-17.

The first record of Jesus as an adult was when He went to John, his cousin, to be baptized in the Jordan River. Many people were there, confessing their sins and submitting to God’s will. Though Jesus had no sin to confess, He too submitted to receive immersion—“to fulfill all righteousness” (Matthew 3:15). Luke’s account is similar, but adds an insight about Jesus’ activity as He came up from the water.

Now when all the people were baptized, and when Jesus also had been baptized and was praying, the heavens were opened, and the Holy Spirit descended on Him in bodily form, like a dove; and a voice came from heaven, “You are My beloved Son; with you I am well pleased.” Jesus, when He began His ministry, was about thirty years of age (Luke 3:21-23).

Three years later, jealous men condemned Jesus to a criminal’s death. Even there, as his enemies hurled insults at Him, Jesus prayed for His tormentors, “Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do” (Luke 23:33-34). The last words from Jesus’ parched lips were, “Father, into Your hands I commit My spirit!” (Luke 23:46).

Footprints become knee prints and face prints.
If we follow the steps of Jesus, we will soon find that His footprints give way to knee prints. As the steps go further, we will find places where the footprints and knee prints disappear. Instead there will be the impress of the body prostrated on the ground. We will find the Savior’s face-print etched into the soil. Persistence in following His steps must eventually lead us to our own Gethsemane and our own Calvary. Serious prayer is part of what it means for a disciple to “deny himself and take up his cross daily and follow Me” (Luke 9:23).

Such was the seriousness with which Jesus viewed prayer. His attitude and practice reflect His full spiritual maturity. Like Peter, we fall far short of that level of maturity. But as children of God, we are growing up into the full likeness of Christ (Romans 8:29; 2 Corinthians 3:18; Ephesians 4:13,15). Therefore we make it our aim to have the same kind of seriousness about prayer. Jesus showed us that only one thing is supremely important: spiritual health and well-being in our relationship with God. If Jesus, the unique Son of God, needed prayer so much, how much more we who are adopted into the family of God? We should give up sleep, food, comfort (and certainly entertainment) rather than neglect our time with God in prayer. Peter himself reminds us that we should be willing to suffer.

For to this you have been called, because Christ also suffered for you, leaving you an example, so that you might follow in His steps (1 Peter 2:21).

The examples at which we have looked are not isolated peaks of Jesus’ prayer-life. Though some are from unusual events, they reflect His normal habits.

Even more the report about Him went abroad, and great crowds gathered to hear Him and to be healed of their infirmities. But He would withdraw to desolate places and pray (Luke 5:16).

The word “would” refers to habitual activity—Jesus often made a time and place for prayer. As we survey the life of Jesus, this pattern of prayer is evident from beginning to end.

Jesus was serious about prayer. He knew that it is more important to meet the needs of the spirit than to meet the needs of the body. It is not easy to discipline oneself to give time and attention to prayer. Jesus’ closest disciples discovered this fact, to their sorrow. Jesus wanted them to stay awake while He prayed in Gethsemane. They seemed unable to do so, though Jesus had made clear His heart’s pain and need. We may identify with their exhaustion, but we can also identify with Jesus’ disappointment.

And He came and found them sleeping, and He said to Peter, “Simon, are you asleep? Could you not watch one hour? Watch and pray that you may not enter into temptation. The spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak” (Mark 14:37-38).

Jesus thought that prayer was more important than much-needed sleep.

Rising very early in the morning, while it was still dark, He departed and went out to a desolate place, and there He prayed (Mark 1:35).

How much easier it would have been to “sleep in” until a decent hour. The previous day’s work had lasted well into the evening.

That evening at sundown they brought to Him all who were sick or oppressed by demons. And the whole city was gathered together at the door. And He healed many who were sick with various diseases, and cast out many demons (Mark 1:32-34).

Yet, despite the night’s work, Jesus was up early for prayer. Of another occasion, Luke 6:12 tells us,

In these days He went out to the mountain to pray, and all night He continued in prayer to God.
