In this sermon, we looked at the role of prayer in our worship. We read Matthew 6:7-13 to see Jesus' instruction on how to pray and Mark 14:32-36 to see His example of prayer. We also looked in 2 Corinthians 12:7-10 at how Paul modeled this same prayer in his own life. Through these passages, we see that prayer is not only about getting God to change something external in our lives but also about asking the Father to align something internal in our hearts. Whether or not we get what we're asking for, we always get God. Prayer doesn’t have to change the things we can see to be supernatural; all prayer is supernatural. Prayer is where finite beings commune with the eternal God. Prayer shifts our trust from earthly things to God and re-postures our hearts from trusting in idols to worshipping the one true God.
