Attracted To Prayer

It seems to me that Jesus didn’t constantly emphasize to His followers the importance of prayer in their daily lives, but He prayed constantly Himself.  Those that were close to Him knew well that before morning dawned He would seek out a place to be alone with His Father.  They were often sent to their homes, while He climbed up into the mountains to spend the night alone in prayer.  Seeing the results of such a life, the glory of God on His face and the peaceful composure with which He passed through trying circumstances, they too sought to know the secret of prayer.  May the value of a life that is truly devoted to Christ be made known once again through a people who are at rest and at peace come what may, because they have been with Him whom they have learned to be completely trustworthy.  Then people will be attracted to prayer, by its fruit in our lives.  Then they will say again, ‘teach us to pray.’
