Charles Spurgeon was once asked, what was more important – praying or reading the Bible?
The response was brilliant: He asked, "What’s more important – breathing in or breathing out?"
You can’t do one without the other.
Oswald Chambers said this about prayer: “Prayer is the vital breath of the Christian; not the thing that makes him alive, but the evidence that he is alive.”
Simply stated, we are commanded to pray. Jesus modelled the kind of prayer life we should strive to emulate. He made it clear that certain Jewish religious leaders were abusing the act and intent of prayer to the Lord, labelling them hypocrites.
This morning we will examine the difference between private and public prayer, and how what Jesus taught His disciples still applies to all believers today.
