How Jesus Prayed

Many of us may have wondered what types of prayers Jesus would have prayed during his time on planet earth. In his book Praying with the Church, Scot McKnight notes that Jesus and his disciples, as practicing first-century Jews, would almost certainly have participated in the established Jewish rhythms of prayer.

The Psalms served as the Hebrew prayer book, and devout Jews engaged in daily psalm-based prayer, regularly immersing themselves in these biblical passages that helped form the core of their spiritual life. Therefore, if we want to have similar rhythms of prayer as that of our savior, we ought to look no further than the book of Psalms.
