1. Why did Jesus discourage long prayers and “vain repetitions”?

“And when you pray, do not be like the hypocrites, for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and on the street corners to be seen by others. Truly I tell you, they have received their reward in full. But when you pray, go into your room, close the door and pray to your Father, who is unseen. Then your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you. And when you pray, do not keep on babbling like pagans, for they think they will be heard because of their many words. (Matthew 6:5-7 NIV)

2. How did Jesus spend the night before choosing the apostles?

One of those days Jesus went out to a mountainside to pray, and spent the night praying to God. When morning came, he called his disciples to him and chose twelve of them, whom he also designated apostles: (Luke 6:12, 13 NIV)

3. What were Peter, James, and John doing while Jesus was praying and agonizing in
Gethsemane?

When he rose from prayer and went back to the disciples, he found them asleep, exhausted from sorrow. (Luke 22:45 NIV)

4. What was Paul’s “heart’s desire and prayer to God” for Israel?

Brothers and sisters, my heart’s desire and prayer to God for the Israelites is that they may be saved. (Romans 10:1 NIV)
