Episode 96: The Prayer Strategy You Need To Know

 
 

Prayer is a misunderstood and misused aspect of our faith. We know it’s crucial, but we often lack the tools to feel effective. 

Even the disciples struggled with how to get this right. They asked Jesus, “How should we pray?” and His answer has been the gold-standard tool throughout the ages. 

Matthew 6:6-8 says to go to a secret place and shut out distraction. Many think they have to have a specific room or place for this to happen, but it’s more than a place - it’s a posture of the heart. A heart ready and willing to communicate with its Maker. We’re not heard by many words either, so we’re released from having to say things constantly, trying to get God’s attention. He hears us not based on repetition, but on willingness to communicate with Him.

Larry Stockstill highlights a powerful framework that Jesus models in what we know as, The Lord’s Prayer:

  • Adoration

  • Consecration

  • Supplication

  • Intercession

  • Protection

These tools can be used and explored to strengthen your prayer life. In this episode we break down these essential elements of prayer and show you the value of Jesus’ prayer model.
