Example.―Jesus, the perfect Man, praying at His baptism (Luke 3:21²¹Now when all the people were baptized, it came to pass, that Jesus also being baptized, and praying, the heaven was opened, (Luke 3:21)) at the calling of His apostles (Luke 6:12¹²And it came to pass in those days, that he went out into a mountain to pray, and continued all night in prayer to God. (Luke 6:12)); at His transfiguration (Luke 9:29²⁹And as he prayed, the fashion of his countenance was altered, and his raiment was white and glistering. (Luke 9:29)); in the presence of HIS cross (Luke 22:40⁴⁰And when he was at the place, he said unto them, Pray that ye enter not into temptation. (Luke 22:40)).

Precept.―Our Lord’s words for our personal encouragement: “Men ought always to pray and not to faint” (Luke 18:1¹And he spake a parable unto them to this end, that men ought always to pray, and not to faint; (Luke 18:1)); and in view of the work of the Gospel, “Pray ye therefore the Lord of the harvest, that He would send forth labourers into His harvest” (Luke 10:2²Therefore said he unto them, The harvest truly is great, but the laborers are few: pray ye therefore the Lord of the harvest, that he would send forth laborers into his harvest. (Luke 10:2)). The time for prayer, “Praying always” (Eph. 6:18¹⁸Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all saints; (Ephesians 6:18)). The place for prayer, “Everywhere” (1 Tim. 2:8⁸I will therefore that men pray every where, lifting up holy hands, without wrath and doubting. (1 Timothy 2:8)).

Promise.― “Everyone that asketh receiveth” (Matt. 7:8⁸For every one that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened. (Matthew 7:8)). “Whatsoever ye shall ask in My Name, that will I do” (John 14:13¹³And whatsoever ye shall ask in my name, that will I do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son. (John 14:13)).
