“In those moments, Jesus, who highly recommended the prayer of asking questions, at the very moment when He would have had reason to ask the Father for explanations, instead begins to praise Him.

So what Jesus is trying to say, to start our prayer, we must be really justified, which means being in right relationship with God, faithful to our covenant relationships that were made for us ...

Jesus begins his prayer in the first person, addressing the Father in the second person singular, “I give praise to you, Father, Lord of heaven and earth” (Mt 11:25).

Prayer and praise are two of the most powerful weapons that has been given to the Body of Christ. The challenge is that most of God’s children do not operate in these weapons.
