Prayer lessons from Jesus

• I should speak to the Most-High before I speak to anyone else.
  “Look no man in the face till thou hast seen the face of God. Speak thou with none till thou hast had speech with the Most-High.” – Charles Spurgeon

• Nothing should take precedence over prayer, not even ministry
  “Jesus knew that pressure and busyness should drive us towards prayer, not from prayer.” – David Guzik

• It is necessary to have a private place to pray.
  “There is in public and private prayer a more united strength and interest, but in secret prayer an advantage for more free and full communication of our souls unto God. Christ for this chooseth the morning, as the time freest from distractions and company; and a solitary place, as fittest for a secret duty.” – Matthew Poole
