0:00.0	Our great example and instructor in prayer is the Lord Jesus Christ.
0:13.0	In God's Word, we find everything we need to develop a life of prayer.
0:18.0	Join Scott Pauli today as we study the Bible together.
0:27.0	Through the years, I have learned that those I'm grateful to God for, I should be praying for.
0:32.7	And the amazing reverse of that is also true that as I pray for people, I am more grateful to God for them.
0:39.3	One of the men who God really used in my life years ago as a friend and as a mentor working on a church staff,
0:48.3	early on said to me that he and his family had a practice every day, that every time they prayed, they would pray for their pastor and for his family had a practice every day that every time they prayed, they would pray for their
0:56.0	pastor and for his family. And he said to me, he said, it has been a great thing for me and my wife,

1:41.3	But I found an amazing thing that throughout the writings of the Apostle Paul, not only did
1:45.4	he pray for the churches that he wrote to, but repeatedly he asked them to pray for him.
1:53.4	You know, it's really hypocritical for us to expect a pastor to pray for us and invest in us
1:59.6	if we're not willing to do the same for him. You see, a pastor is a
2:03.4	fellow church member. He is another member of the body. Now, he's been called to shepherd the flock. He
2:10.2	has been called to help lead, but he still needs to be ministered to. Have you ever wondered and
