Jesus Prayers Week 2

Jesus’ life was characterized by prayer.
When do you pray?
Before
Mark 1:35-39 – Early in Jesus ministry, he was healing and preaching. This passage is recorded just after he heals Peter’s mother-in-law and many others. This prayer resulted in Jesus moving on to preach elsewhere.
Mark 6:45-52 – Jesus prayed before he walked on water.
Luke 6:12-16 – Jesus prayed before he named the 12 apostles
During
Luke 3:21-22 – Jesus was baptized as he was praying
Luke 9:28-32 – Jesus was transfigured while he was praying.
After
John 11:37-46 – Jesus prayed after raising Lazarus from the dead.
1 Thessalonians 5:17 – Pray without ceasing
It seems as though Jesus was in prayer a lot.
Some people are interested in the taste of food – some people are more interested in volume.
What is more important in prayer, quality or quantity?
Are you more likely to pray before, during, or after an event?
Can prayer change us? How?
What can we learn from seeing “when” Jesus prayed (in these examples)?
