But I say to you, Love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you,

The Lord's Prayer

“And when you pray, you must not be like the hypocrites. For they love to stand and pray in the synagogues and at the street corners, that they may be seen by others. Truly, I say to you, they have received their reward.

But when you pray, go into your room and shut the door and pray to your Father who is in secret. And your Father who sees in secret will reward you.

“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.

Pray then like this: “Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your name.

therefore pray earnestly to the Lord of the harvest to send out laborers into his harvest.”

And after he had dismissed the crowds, he went up on the mountain by himself to pray. When evening came, he was there alone,

Let the Children Come to Me

Then children were brought to him that he might lay his hands on them and pray. The disciples rebuked the people,

He said to them, “It is written, ‘My house shall be called a house of prayer,’ but you make it a den of robbers.”

And whatever you ask in prayer, you will receive, if you have faith.”

Pray that your flight may not be in winter or on a Sabbath.

Jesus Prays in Gethsemane

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

And going a little farther he fell on his face and prayed, saying, “My Father, if it be possible, let this cup pass from me; nevertheless, not as I will, but as you will.”

Watch and pray that you may not enter into temptation. The spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak.”

Again, for the second time, he went away and prayed, “My Father, if this cannot pass unless I drink it, your will be done.”

So, leaving them again, he went away and prayed for the third time, saying the same words again.
