WHAT DID JESUS TEACH ABOUT

PRAYER?

Luke 11:1-13

Reverence

“By the word of the Lord the heavens were made, and by the breath of His mouth all their host. He gathers the waters of the sea together as a heap; He lays up the deeps in storehouses.” “Let all the earth fear the Lord; let all the inhabitants of the world stand in awe of Him. For He spoke, and it was done; He commanded, and it stood fast.”

Psa. 33:6-9

“To Him be the glory in the church and in Christ Jesus to all generations forever and ever. Amen.”

Eph. 3:21
