Throughout the life of Christ, as He dwelt amongst mankind in human form, there were many priorities on which His ministry on earth was focused. It is evident, however, that there are some priorities that were esteemed greater than others. While it would be incredibly difficult to rate the level of significance on the priorities of Jesus, there is one priority in particular which cannot be overlooked: prayer. Prayer was tremendously exemplified in the life of Christ and is a priority that Christians should imitate and integrate into their day-to-day lives.
Jesus prays before crucial moments in His life and ministry. Throughout all four Gospels (particularly the gospel of Luke), it is clearly seen that almost every time Jesus prayed, something big was about to take place. He is seen going before God in earnest prayer countless times, especially before key moments in Biblical history. In Luke 6:12 (ESV), Jesus prays earnestly before choosing the Twelve Apostles: “In these days He went out to the mountain to pray, and all night He continued in prayer to God.” Not only does He pray intently, but He prays all night long. Nowhere else in all of the four gospels does Jesus pray for such a prolonged period of time (Nolland, “Luke 1-9:20,” 269). Choosing His apostles, the twelve men who were to be His companions throughout the entirety of His ministry, was a pretty phenomenal decision, so Jesus entreats His Heavenly Father in prayer before making that decision. We see in Luke 3:21 and 22 that Jesus prays just after being baptized, before the heavens were opened and the Holy Spirit descends on Him “in bodily form, like a dove,” before a “voice came from heaven” saying, “You are My beloved Son; with You I am well pleased.” In the midst of Jesus’ prayers, the heavens literally open, the Holy Spirit descends on Him, and God speaks. That is certainly something of immense significance.
Jesus prays in the Garden of Gethsemane hours before He was to be crucified on the cross. In Matthew 26:39, He falls on His face and prays, “My Father, if it be possible, let this cup pass from Me; nevertheless, not as I will, but as You will.” It says in Matthew 26:42 that Jesus goes back to pray for a second time after admonishing His disciples (Peter, James, and John) for sleeping instead of watching and praying: “My Father, if this cannot pass unless I drink it, Your will be done.” Likewise, in Mark 14:35 and 36, it says that Jesus “fell on the ground, and prayed that, if it were possible, the hour might pass from Him. And He said, ‘Abba, Father, all things are possible for You. Remove this cup from Me. Yet not what I will, but what You will.’” As quoted by Evans in his commentary, “Falling to the ground attests to the distress that has overtaken Jesus” (“Mark 8:27-16:20,” 410). Luke 22:39-46 is another passage that reveals Jesus praying for deliverance from the tragic death He was soon to suffer. On multiple occasions, Jesus is recorded to have fallen on His face, which, in the Old Testament, was a “common posture in special circumstances of worship, fear, or submission” (Hagner, “Luke 18:35-24:53,” 783). Jesus, despite His passionate desire to have the “cup” (“a metaphor for the suffering and death that He was soon to face,” Hagner, “Luke 18:35-24:53,” 783) pass from Him, made it clear that He would adhere to the will of the Father (“not as I will, but as You will”), and He humbles Himself in complete and total obedience, presenting His requests to His Heavenly Father.
Jesus prays as He suffers a violent death on the cross. In Matthew 27:46 and in Mark 15:34, Jesus cries out, “‘Eli, Eli, lema sabachthani?’ that is, ‘My God, my God, why have you forsaken Me?’” Hagner adds, “As the passion narrative began with Jesus’ prayer in Gethsemane (26:39), now it comes to a close with Jesus’ prayer as He experiences drinking the cup He had earlier prayed would pass” (“Matt. 14 - 28,” 844). Jesus feels completely and utterly deserted and rejected, and so He articulates His sense of loneliness and abandonment with words from Ps 22:1, “a psalm of lament” but it is also “a psalm of trust” (Hagner, “Matt. 14 - 28,” 844). In Luke 23:34, we see that there were two criminals, one that hung on another cross on His right, and one that hung on a cross on His left. Jesus prayed, “Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do.” It can be observed in Luke 23:46 that, just before Christ breathes His last breath on the cross, He cries out in a loud voice, “Father, into Your hands I commit My spirit!” All throughout His agonizing death on the cross, Jesus continues to love the crude and insolent crowd, beseeching forgiveness from God, on their behalf (Luke 23:34). Moreover, just before He breathes His last, He commits His Spirit to God. Up until His last moment on earth, His final words are directed to His heavenly Father.
Jesus even blesses the food before eating it. During the Passover, in Matthew 26:26, Mark 14:22, and Luke 22:19, Jesus blesses (prays for) the food before breaking the bread and giving it to His disciples. Likewise, in Luke 22:19, Jesus gives thanks for the cup before giving it to His disciples to drink from. It can also be seen in Luke 24:30, after Jesus is raised from the dead, that He blesses the bread before breaking it as He dines with the men He met on the road to Emmaus. Matthew 14:19, Mark 6:14, Luke 9:16, and John 6:11 narrate Jesus blessing the loaves of bread before giving the bread to the five thousand. This shows that something as seemingly trivial and inconsequential as eating a meal is important to Jesus. It is clear that praying for the little things is essential too.
Jesus gave His followers a template for prayer. In Matthew 6:5-13 and in Luke 11:1-4, Jesus discusses the Lord’s Prayer, which is really a tool for Christians on how they are to pray. In Matthew 6:9, Jesus tells His disciples, “Pray then like this,” and goes on to recite the Lord’s Prayer. It begins with “Our Father in Heaven,” an address which offers the groundwork of the probability that, in prayer, “as Father, God is concerned for the needs of his children; as the One in Heaven, He is all-powerful” (Hagner, “Matt. 1-13,” 148). Addressing the Lord God of the Universe as our “Father” makes the prayer far more personal and intimate. The rest of the Lord’s Prayer continues on to give honor to His Name, submission to the will of the Father on earth (as well as in Heaven), and a request that He will “give us this day” and provide “our daily bread.” Verse twelve goes on to entreat forgiveness for the sins that His disciples commit (as well as the ability for the disciples to forgive those who wrong them), plea that believers of Christ will be saved from a situation where they could be lead into temptation, and delivered from the wiles of the “Evil One,” because “testing is inevitable” (Hagner, “Matt. 1-13,” 151). This prayer incorporates practically every aspect of everyday life and shows Christians how they are to pray.
In addition to the Lord’s Prayer, Christ commands us to be humble in the way that we pray. In verse five of Matthew’s sixth chapter, Jesus warns His disciples to be unlike the hypocrites “who do their utmost to attract attention to themselves when they pray” (Hagner, “Matt. 1-13,” 141). The hypocrites loved to “position themselves” in the most prominent of places where they could be most clearly seen as they prayed (Hagner, “Matt. 1-13”, 142). Instead, Christ instructs His servants: “go into your room and shut the door and pray to your Father who is in secret.” He promises His disciples that, if they obey this command, the Father “who sees in secret” will reward them (Matthew 6:6). There is no doubt that Jesus despised the arrogant phonies who sought for the approval of man as they prayed, esteeming themselves as “great” and “holy.” Jesus makes it clear that humility in prayer is essential, and praying in secret is strongly counseled. The Father who is in secret will reward those who adhere to these commands.
In the words of Jesus, I am to “pray then like this,” just as my Lord and Savior prayed. It is clear that prayer was a supreme priority in the life of Christ. Each and every time Jesus was faced with a big decision, He went away to be alone in prayer, and He turned to His Heavenly Father and entreated Him as to what He was to do. Jesus is the ultimate icon of prayer, the ultimate example that we are to emulate. Christ made it clear to us, His people, that prayer is a crucial aspect of Christianity.
Observing Christ going before God in prayer caused me to recognize that I need to turn to God and beseech Him in prayer myself - not neglect to include Him in the problems I face every single day. When I am going through a demanding and frustrating time in my life, where I am overloaded with homework, where I am battling to get any sleep at all, I need to give it up to God in prayer. When I am feeling pulled in five million directions all at once, when I am feeling completely and totally overwhelmed in general, I need to turn to Him in search for help, while having faith that He will give me strength to get through the plights and predicaments. When my family is going through a tough time, such as my mom going through chemo after having her breast cancer removed, my brother recovering from having a kidney transplant that transpired almost a year ago, and me not being able to be there because I am all the way across the world from them, I need to remember to simply give it up to God and to trust that He has it all in control.
When I see Christ blessing the food before eating it, I am reminded that I need to give up even the little things to Him in prayer. I need to give my fears to Him when I am about to give a speech that I am terrified to present. I need to hand Him the situation when there is a dispute between a roommate and myself that needs to be resolved. When I am “starving,” with no food to consume on the weekends, and I am not able to get to a store to purchase more, I need to remember that God will provide! I need to remember that God will give me the calmness of heart that I need to present that speech, the articulation of words and the opportunity that will allow me to patch things up with my roommate, and He will provide the means for me to eat on the weekends when I have nothing to eat. I know that even if He does not answer my prayers and my requests the way that I would like Him to, He does that for my own good. God has my best interest in mind in everything He does for me.
I know that I must remember that Christ is always there for me and that I am always able to cast my anxieties on Him in all circumstances. I need to constantly remind myself that Christ lived here on earth. I need to be reminiscent of the fact that He did, indeed, experience everything that we experience on a daily basis! I need to remember that I am not alone, that Christ is my source of comfort. I must not neglect to recall that He never fails to be there, to listen to my requests and my pleas. I so often forget to go to Him when I am in need! I am always catching myself trying to figure things out on my own. I fail to remember that I am small, I am weak, and I cannot cope with the overwhelming trials that I constantly seem to face as I walk through life. I need to remember to pray. I need to remember to present my requests to God and let go completely, leaving room for Him to do His great and mighty work in all of it, in His divine and perfect way.
When I don’t know how to pray, or what to pray, the Lord’s Prayer is always a prayer that I know I can resort to as a guide on how to pray. There are times when I find myself lacking in words, especially when I don’t know how to convey my thoughts in prayer to God. When this occurs, I look to the Lord’s Prayer and I am instantaneously inspired. There is no greater example for me, as a Christian, on how I am to pray, than the passage of Matthew 6:5-13. It always will, indeed, be an eternal icon that I will continue to employ on a daily basis.
Prayer was perfectly modeled for us by Christ. Time and time again we see Christ going before His Heavenly Father. After Christ prayed, often crazy things would happen (not always, not every time, but often). One such example can be seen when Jesus prays after being baptized, when the Heavens open up and the Holy Spirit descends on Him. This does not mean that something outrageous and fantastic will occur each and every time Christians pray. Believers don’t need to pray in order for great things to occur, but God does use prayer to move in mighty ways. Followers of Christ need to be obedient in prayer while following in the shadow of Christ’s Holy and glorious example. So in the words of Jesus, “Pray then like this…”

It's an Obamanation!
There has been much discussion relating to President Obama’s faith. Is Barack Hussein Obama a Christian, an Atheist, an Agnostic, a Buddhist, a Monk, a Mormon, a Hindu, a Jehovah’s Witness… a Muslim? After much research and study, the answer has become incredibly apparent to me. It’s pretty hard to refute the evidence, as you saw in the video clip I just showed you, even though he is a little vague in fully admitting it. Ladies and Gentlemen, Obama, the President of the United States of America (a nation founded on Biblical principles), whether he out rightly admits it or not, is a man of Muslim (not Christian) faith.
Let’s take a look at his background, shall we?
Obama’s history and background is clearly filled with Muslim influence. Let’s start with his name, Barack Hussein Obama. As Debbie Schlussel, an attorney and a frequent New York Post and Jerusalem Post columnist, expert on radical Islam/Islamic terrorism and a host of other issues says, “Hussein is a Muslim name, which comes from the name of Ali’s son–Hussein Ibn Ali... And even if Obama did not identify as a Muslim, that’s not how the Arab and Muslim streets see it. In Arab culture and under Islamic law, if your father is a Muslim, so are you. And once a Muslim, always a Muslim. You cannot go back! In Islamic eyes, Obama is certainly a Muslim. He may think he’s a Christian, but they do not...” Obama's father, Barack Hussein Obama, Sr., was a radical Muslim. Consequently, some have attempted to make it appear that Obama's introduction to Islam came from his father and that influence was temporary at best. In reality, however, the senior Obama returned to Kenya immediately following the divorce (which occurred when Obama was two) and never again had any direct influence over his son's education! Obama’s mother married another Muslim, Lolo Soetoro, who educated his stepson as a good Muslim by enrolling him in one of Jakarta's Wahabbi schools (Wahabbism is the radical teaching that created the Muslim terrorists who are now waging Jihad on the industrialized world). I’m not by any means trying to insinuate that Obama is a terrorist or anything of that nature; I’m just saying that he was raised and educated with that as a heavy influence. Scary thought, isn’t it?
Obama makes decisions concerning our country, daily, which are influenced by his belief in Islam. As reported in Fox News in August of this year, concerning Ground Zero (the site where the world-renound Twin Towers once stood), “President Obama… sought to clarify his comments supporting the building of a mosque near Ground Zero that have ignited a political firestorm ahead of a difficult election season for Democrats. During a trip to Florida for a family vacation, Obama said his comments… were only directed at the constitutional right of the mosque to be there, and whether preventing the mosque's construction impinges on the right to freedom of religion. ‘I was not commenting and I will not comment on the wisdom of making the decision to put a mosque there,’ he said in response to a reporter's question after he spoke about efforts to aid the Gulf Coast region. ‘I was commenting very specifically on the right people have that dates back to our founding. That's what our country is about.’
Really? I understand that America is all about religious freedom, but seriously… It was Muslim terrorists who destroyed the twin towers, who murdered over 3,000 innocent civilians.
“Republicans and some victims’ advocates have strongly condemned Obama's support for the mosque, which would be part of a $100 million Islamic community center two blocks from where nearly 3,000 people perished when hijacked jetliners slammed into the World Trade Center towers on Sept. 11, 2001.”
“‘Barack Obama has abandoned America at the place where America's heart was broken nine years ago, and where her true values were on display for all to see,’ said Debra Burlingame, a spokeswoman for some Sept. 11 victims' families and the sister of one of the pilots killed in the attacks.
“Building the mosque at Ground Zero,’ she said, ‘is a deliberately provocative act that will precipitate more bloodshed in the name of Allah.’"
“Rep. Peter King, R-N.Y., said the president is ‘wrong.’ ‘It is insensitive and uncaring for the Muslim community to build a mosque in the shadow of Ground Zero,’ he said in a written statement. ‘While the Muslim community has the right to build the mosque, they are abusing that right by needlessly offending so many people who have suffered so much," he said. "The right and moral thing for President Obama to have done was to urge Muslim leaders to respect the families of those who died and move their mosque away from ground zero. Unfortunately, the president caved into political correctness.’”
There are MANY more quotes that I wish I could share with you concerning the hurt and the pain that this whole issue has caused the families that were affected by the 9/11 attacks... It is ungracious and, frankly, incredibly disrespectful and insolent on the Muslims side to even CONSIDER building a mosque on Ground Zero… It’s unbelievable.
As House Minority Leader John Boehner said in a written statement, “The fact that someone has the right to do something doesn’t necessarily make it the right thing to do. That is the essence of tolerance, peace, and understanding. This is not an issue of LAW, whether religious freedom or local zoning. This is a BASIC issue of respect of a TRAGIC moment in our history.”
I think that says it all…
Obama does absolutely NOTHING that encourages the growth of our Christian nation, despite the fact that America is, indeed, a nation that was FOUNDED on the BIBLE, God’s Holy Word! Wouldn’t it be logical to assume that, since America was FOUNDED on the Bible, the United States of America would be a nation that reflects Christ? A nation that exhibits its belief in our Holy God in everything it does? All 43 presidents that came before President Obama had at least some semblance of belief or faith in Christ. Whether the belief was nominal or genuine, not one of them was avidly against Christianity, against our Lord God and Savior… until now, that is. Even Bill Clinton, a man who most certainly was NOT a follower of Christ, had enough respect for our country to adhere to the Biblical principles of our nation. Obama is a Muslim! Nevertheless, since it is politically beneficial to be a Christian when you are seeking political office in the United States, Obama joined the United Church of Christ to help eliminate any notion that he was still a Muslim. Sneaky business, huh? Unfortunately, in today’s society, being a Christian is not even close to being a prerequisite to joining a church today, making it easy for non-believers to wiggle their way in. A sad fact that is, regrettably, a reality. Since becoming president of the US, I believe Obama has since ceased attending, and is unashamedly declaring his faith in Allah, the god of the Muslims. My friends, Obama is the President of our country! He is “the man,” so to speak, when it comes to the United States. America was intended to be a Christian nation that allowed all who dwelled here to worship freely, no doubt. But America was also a country that was established on God and His Word. So it would be logical to assume that those who run for President of this beautiful country are, at least, somewhat sympathetic to Christianity. Obama is simply not one of those people. He has made it clear that he is not a believer of Christ! That is enough information for me to state that he is not worthy of the title “President of the United States.”
It’s just mind-blowing as to how much Obama seems to have gotten away with in becoming our President. Without *much experience at all, with a sketchy history (at best), and without any faith or* at least some semblance of reverence towards our Heavenly Father God, Barack Hussein Obama seems to have just crept through the proverbial “back door” of politics, completely disregarding the fundamental issues that are imperative for a president of the United States to adhere to. Obama, a man without much knowledge concerning how to be an effective and esteemed authority over our nation, has been put in “office” and is currently leading our nation to imminent destruction. America needs a godly leader to uphold this nation! We need a man who will make decisions based on God’s Word and how God commands leaders to, well, lead! At minimum, America requires a president who doesn’t admonish Christianity… a president who doesn’t despise Christ. *PAUSE* Obama has, in my eyes, done a poor job of leading this nation. Every decision he has made seems to have been a detrimental one! Ladies and gentlemen, it’s pretty clear America is in desperate need of deliverance. Therefore, we, as Christians, need to earnestly entreat Christ and seek HIM in all of this. We need to pray for deliverance. We need to pray that God will work on President Obama’s heart, that he will be utterly convicted of his sin against Christ, and that he will, perhaps, by some miracle, turn to God and repent! We need to be hopeful that Christ can accomplish all things, that through Him, all things are made possible. May America go back to the way it was meant to be, the way it was originally intended to be: ONE nation, under GOD, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all!
