1. Prayer is a means of connecting with God: Jesus taught that prayer is a direct line of communication with God, allowing individuals to express their thoughts, feelings, and needs to the divine.
2. Persistence in prayer is key: Jesus encouraged persistence in prayer, telling the story of the persistent widow and the unjust judge (Luke 18:1-8), which emphasizes the importance of continuing to pray even when it seems that prayers are not being answered.
3. Humility in prayer is important: Jesus taught that prayer should be accompanied by humility and a recognition of our dependence on God. He taught that prayer should be characterized by a contrite spirit and a recognition of our need for God's help, as seen in the Lord's Prayer, where Jesus taught his disciples to pray, "Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your name."
