Prayer
“And when you pray, do not be like the hypocrites, for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and on the street corners to be seen by others. Truly I tell you, they have received their reward in full.

The Little Children and Jesus
Then people brought little children to Jesus for him to place his hands on them and pray for them. But the disciples rebuked them.

“It is written,” he said to them, “‘My house will be called a house of prayer,’ but you are making it ‘a den of robbers.’”
-
If you believe, you will receive whatever you ask for in prayer.”

Gethsemane
Then Jesus went with his disciples to a place called Gethsemane, and he said to them, “Sit here while I go over there and pray.”

Going a little farther, he fell with his face to the ground and prayed, “My Father, if it is possible, may this cup be taken from me. Yet not as I will, but as you will.”
-
“Watch and pray so that you will not fall into temptation. The spirit is willing, but the flesh is weak.”
-
He went away a second time and prayed, “My Father, if it is not possible for this cup to be taken away unless I drink it, may your will be done.”
-
So he left them and went away once more and prayed the third time, saying the same thing.

Jesus Prays in a Solitary Place
Very early in the morning, while it was still dark, Jesus got up, left the house and went off to a solitary place, where he prayed.
-
After leaving them, he went up on a mountainside to pray.
-
He replied, “This kind can come out only by prayer.”
-
And as he taught them, he said, “Is it not written: ‘My house will be called a house of prayer for all nations’? But you have made it ‘a den of robbers.’”
-
Therefore I tell you, whatever you ask for in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours.
-
And when you stand praying, if you hold anything against anyone, forgive them, so that your Father in heaven may forgive you your sins.”
-
They devour widows’ houses and for a show make lengthy prayers. These men will be punished most severely.”
-
Pray that this will not take place in winter,
-
Gethsemane
They went to a place called Gethsemane, and Jesus said to his disciples, “Sit here while I pray.”

Going a little farther, he fell to the ground and prayed that if possible the hour might pass from him.
