Jesus On Prayer (Part 1)
The Life and Teachings of ChristSteve Gregg
In this teaching, Steve Gregg examines Matthew 6 which includes the Lord's Prayer. He notes that Jesus assumes his disciples will pray and advises them to pray vertically, not horizontally like the heathen. Gregg cautions against vain repetitions and asks for the sake of self-interest, pointing out that God's will and the good of the whole family should be considered in prayer. He urges listeners to acknowledge their dependency on God and refrain from treating prayer as a magic formula or a way to wear God down.
