prayer

"one of those days Jesus went out to a mountainside to pray, and spent the night praying to God." - luke 6:12

if you don't have charles spurgeon's morning and evening, buy it. seriously. it is the best devotional book. the other day, i came across a great writing on prayer. i have to share it with you.

from november 12, evening:

"if ever one of woman born might have lived without prayer, it was our spotless, perfect Lord, and yet no one was ever so much in supplication as He! Such was His love for His Father that He loved to be in frequent communication with Him; such was His love for His people that He desired to be in frequent intercession for them. the fact of this eminent prayerfulness of Jesus is a lesson for us - He has given us an example that we may follow in His steps...shouldn't we learn from Jesus to resort to special prayer when we are under peculiar trial, or contemplate fresh endeavors for the Master's glory?"

Lord, teach me to pray.
