Our confidence in prayer does not come from the strength or power of our prayers, but from the intercession of Jesus. In Hebrews 7:23-28 we are encouraged by the High Priestly ministry of Jesus that is occurring right now for believers before the throne of God.

In Ephesians 1:15-23 Paul models how we can pray, not just for Christians, but specifically for our church. One of the greatest gifts God gives us is a church that we can serve in and through and one of the ways that we show our gratitude for our church is through our prayers.

We all have times of spiritual sluggishness in our lives. During those times we are often lax in prayers, but prayer is the most important thing we can do. In Philippians 1:9-11 Paul shows us how we can pray to push through a time of spiritual plateauing.

What is the best way to pray for others in our life? Paul prays for saints in 1 Thessalonians 2:17-3:13 and models for us how we can pray God's best for people.

People frequently pray for power, but what kind of power should we pray for? Paul demonstrates for us in Ephesians 3:14-21 how we can pray for the power of God to be at work in our life.

What values and desires should shape our prayer lives? As we look at 2 Thessalonians 1 we get a glimpse of the foundation upon which we should construct our prayers.

In Luke 22:39-46 Jesus offers the most important prayer ever prayed. It is the most important prayer because it establishes the template for every prayer we pray.

Jesus teaches his disciples concerning the last day in Luke 17, and then in Luke 18:1-8 he encourages them to pray as a way to avoid losing hope.

Why should we be confident when we pray? In Luke 11:5-13 Jesus gives us a series of images to bolster our confidence in how he answers prayer.

Jesus describes the prayer of a hypocrite. However, the way Jesus defines a hypocrite is different from what we may think. Look at Matthew 6:5-8 and see how we can examine the intent of our praying so that we do not pray hypocritical prayers.
