Questions, Answers & Prayer:

What’s our motive for prayer?

Jesus states the chief motive:

“Whatever you ask…I will do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son (John 14:13).”

The Spirit leads us to pray so God may be glorified in the Son?

This agrees perfectly with Paul’s claim that this is the motive behind praying for all promises:

“All the promises of God in (Jesus Christ) are yes, & in Him Amen, to the glory of God through us (2 Cor 1:20).”

The top purpose for prayer & the promises is given in the phrase:… “to the glory of God.”

Seeking first God’s glory is the motive for effective prayers.

“Father, help us: Speak the Word boldly. Love others as You have loved us that the Father may be glorified in the Son. (John 13:34; 14:13) Amen.”
