Praying in response to God's holiness Jesus taught His disciples to pray in a manner that we seldom hear today. He taught them to first seek God, then His kingdom, and then to bring our needs to Him.
Most people pray in just the opposite way.
We ask God to meet our needs. We then pray for others. And if we have any time left, we give Him thanks and place our focus on Him. But praying like Jesus taught was different. After we have sought His face, we then pray for others.
