- PRAY TOGETHER
Luke 11:1, “...as he finished...”
Luke 5:16: “But Jesus often withdrew to the wilderness for prayer.”
John 11:41-42: “Father thank you for hearing Me. You always hear me, but I said it out loud for the sake of all these people standing here, so that they will believe you sent Me.”

- GET IT TOGETHER WHEN YOU PRAY
Luke 11:2, “Jesus said, ‘This is how you should pray...”
James 4:3 (NKJV), “You ask and do not receive, because you ask amiss, that you may spend it on YOUR pleasures.” (NLT; “because your motives are all wrong”.) Romans 8:26 (NLT): “And the Holy Spirit helps us in our distress. For we don’t even know what we should pray for, nor how we should pray...”
