The Prayer Life of Jesus and His Followers | Bob Odom

Luke 5:15–16 [15] But now even more the report about him went abroad, and great crowds gathered to hear him and to be healed of their infirmities. [16] But he would withdraw to desolate places and pray. (ESV) Luke 6:27-28 [27] “But I say to you who hear, Love your enemies, do good to those who hate you, [28] bless those who curse you, pray for those who abuse you. (ESV) Luke 9:28 Now about eight days after these sayings he took with him Peter and John and James and went up on the mountain to pray. (ESV) Luke 10:2 And he said to them, “The harvest is plentiful, but the laborers are few. Therefore pray earnestly to the Lord of the harvest to send out laborers into his harvest. (ESV) Luke 18:1 And he told them a parable to the effect that they ought always to pray and not lose heart. (ESV) Luke 19:45–46 [45] And he entered the temple and began to drive out those who sold, [46] saying to them, “It is written, ‘My house shall be a house of prayer,’ but you have made it a den of robbers.” (ESV) Luke 22:40 And when he came to the place, he said to them, “Pray that you may not enter into temptation.” (ESV) Hebrews 7:23–25 [23] The former priests were many in number, because they were prevented by death from continuing in office, [24] but he holds his priesthood permanently, because he continues forever. [25] Consequently, he is able to save to the uttermost those who draw near to God through him, since he always lives to make intercession for them. (ESV) Romans 8:26 Likewise the Spirit helps us in our weakness. For we do not know what to pray for as we ought, but the Spirit himself intercedes for us with groanings too deep for words. (ESV) 1 Samuel 12:23 Moreover, as for me, far be it from me that I should sin against the LORD by ceasing to pray for you, and I will instruct you in the good and the right way. (ESV)
