| There was a remarkable change in the prayer life of the disciples after the resurrection of Jesus, and it is noted again after Pentecost. Before the death of Jesus, the disciples slept while Jesus prayed in the Garden. But after His death and resurrection: |
1. |
They assembled in the Upper Room, waiting for the coming of the Holy Spirit, and they prayed. We should always pray when assembled with believers (Acts 1:13,14). |
2. |
They prayed as they went from house to house (Acts 2:42-47). |
3. |
They prayed in the church when Peter was in prison (Acts 12:5-19). |
4. |
Paul and Silas prayed in prison (Acts 16:25). Here we see Christians praying in the presence of unbelievers, but not to be heard of them. Never pray to please others present, pray only to please God. |
5. |
The most important place to pray is any place where you can be alone with God (Matt. 6:6). |
6. |
We are instructed to pray in all places at all times (I Tim. 2:6). |
It is a great joy to be able to talk with God, any time, any place and under any condition, and to know that He will hear and answer. |
