Praying with Jesus

Jesus is praying, but are we praying with Him? We may pray because Jesus told us to pray, or because He modeled prayer. Maybe we pray when situations are desperate. Prayer is the right thing to do, but there is so much more to this mysterious conversation, this divine opportunity. Scripture tells us that Jesus lives to make intercession; He lives to pray! If you listen closely, you'll hear what He is praying for: the burdens of your heart, the needs of your life-the Savior is praying for you. Jesus made a vulnerable request at the darkest hour of His life, asking His friends to pray with Him. But instead of praying, they fell asleep. Prayer is primarily relational. Jesus talks to God on our behalf, but is He praying alone? What would it mean if we joined Jesus in prayer. Praying with Jesus will RESET your prayer life.
