How did Jesus pray?

When I first became a Christian I remember people telling me that they were going to pray in their prayer closet. I always wondered why people would try to smash themselves into a closet to pray. After a few years I finally realized that a “prayer closet” does not really exist is just something people say.

A lot of people think they dont know how to pray. A lot of people are intimidated to pray. To help us understand how to pray I thought a good place to start is by looking at what Jesus says about prayer…

1. Pray in faith.
22And whatever you ask in prayer, you will receive, if you have faith.” Matt 21:22

2. Do not pray so that people can admire you.
7″And when you pray, do not heap up empty phrases as the Gentiles do, for they think that they will be heard for their many words. Matt 6:7

3. Pray in Gods will.
24Until now you have asked nothing in my name. Ask, and you will receive, that your joy may be full. John 16:24
