Prayer is a privilege Jesus purchased for his people. In Luke 6:12–13, Jesus spent all night in prayer prior to appointing his apostles. We will take a brief look at what Dr Luke records for us about this prayer and see what lessons we can learn to apply to our own times of prayer. We see here that:

1. Jesus’ prayer was deliberate (v. 12a)

2. Jesus’ prayer was intense (v. 12b)

3. Jesus’ prayer was followed by action (v. 13)
