Jesus came to preach the good news of the kingdom of God. The gracious mercy of God is what Jesus’ hearers received once they believed this good news preached to them and placed their trust in Him. But Jesus was unable to preach effectively without first seeking His Father’s will through persistent, fervent prayer. So it is with us. Our lives and ministries will be most fruitful when our compulsion to pray is as great as His.
