What do you learn by reading several of the twenty-seven prayers of Jesus? There is a lot to be learned when reading Jesus prayers. It's also worthy to note as a reader I don't just look at the verse that was the prayer, bur also look before and after. I find reading the context the prayer was developed around is very important. I will start off my reviewing several prayers I have chosen from the list and give you what I learned and in the end summarize my thoughts. Starting with Hebrews 2:12

It refutes materialism, for it distinguishes between God and His material creation. It abolishes pantheism, for it predicts that which necessitates a personal God. It tells us that He was Himself before the beginning and hence, eternal.” This one verse containing only ten words is very brief, but yet profound. “This is a statement that is certainly
week we were assigned with the opportunity to create an essay on a bible verse. I quickly grabbed the nearest bible and started to flip through the pages, until I got to Timothy, so i stopped there and started to read and think of what i wanted my verse to include. I was in a deep thought when one single number went straight to my head and I didn't know where it came from, it was the number 7. I found the passage from chapter 1 verse 7 “ For God did not give us a spirit of cowardice, but rather a spirit
significant triumphs in this book begins with an insecure boy named Gideon who God chooses to patiently contrast his limited capabilities and feeble temperament with His infinite empowerment.
