Lesson Summary

Asking is a vital part of praying, and Jesus had a lot to say about it. He made some bold promises about asking, like this one in John 15:7: “If you remain in me and my words remain in you, ask whatever you wish, and it will be done for you.” Jesus used that phrase “whatever you ask” at least six times, and it’s clear that our asking is important to Him.

In this lesson, you learned how to:

  1. Explain why it’s God’s desire that we ask for what we want and need.
  2. Identify the six requests that Jesus taught us to use as a model for our own prayers.
  3. Examine your own attitude toward how you pray and what you pray for.

Continue to Lesson 3: When You Don’t Know What to Say to learn about how you can go deeper than words in your prayers.
