Luke is the most prayerful Gospel: He (Luke) shows Jesus in prayer more than any of the other Gospels.
- Jesus prayed at His baptism
- all night before selecting the 12 apostles
- over the fish and loves before feeding 5000
- before announcing His coming death to the disciples
- at His transfigureation
- when the 70 returned from their mission
- just before the disciples asked him to teach them how to pray
- in Gethsemane before his arrest
- and twice on the cross he prayed
Not only did Jesus give us his example in prayer He also exhorts His followers to pray:
- for their enemies
- for workers to be sent into God's harvest field
- for needed things
- always
- to avoid tempation
