A survey of pastors recently revealed that a scant 16 percent were satisfied with their prayer life. Pastor Thabiti Anyabwile takes us to Paul’s first letter to Timothy to show us the basic yet often ignored Christian discipline of prayer. With a pastor’s heart, Anyabwile uses 1 Timothy 2 to discuss what we are to pray, why we pray, and how we are called to pray. For all pastors, the gentle reminder that before we talk to men about God we should be talking to God about men is a basic which we should never tire of hearing.
1First of all, then, I urge that supplications, prayers, intercessions, and thanksgivings be made for all people, 2for kings and all who are in high positions, that we may lead a peaceful and quiet life, godly and dignified in every way. 3This is good, and it is pleasing in the sight of God our Savior, 4who desires all people to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth. 5For there is one God, and there is one mediator between God and men, the man1 Christ Jesus, 6who gave himself as a ransom for all, which is the testimony given at the proper time. 7For this I was appointed a preacher and an apostle (I am telling the truth, I am not lying), a teacher of the Gentiles in faith and truth.
