Lesson Overview

The scriptural basis for prayer is not legalistic or ritualistic. It is both deeply relational and immensely practical. This lesson delves into an understanding of prayer as both a privilege and a blessing, and underscores the necessity of a consistent practice of prayer for a vital and growing Christian life.

Lesson Objectives

When you complete this lesson, you should be able to do the following:

  • Understand scriptural foundations for why the practice of prayer is vital to a relationship with God.
  • Comprehend what God’s desire for prayer and Jesus’ practice of prayer show us about God’s personality.
  • Ascertain some of the exciting incentives God gives us for praying in Scripture.

Personal Reflection

As you proceed through this lesson have the following question in mind.
Do you feel prayer is something you “have to” do, or something you “get to” do?
