Have you ever watched a child do something exactly like one of his or her parents? Some physical features and mannerisms are genetic, of course, but others can only have been acquired through observation and imitation. For example, I recently watched, amazed, as my grandson cut the sandwich he made for his school lunch while it was in<\/em> a plastic baggie. He didn\u2019t pull that practice out of thin air; he said it\u2019s how his mom does it, to make clean-up easier.<\/p>\n

What if we can do something similar by paying a little attention to the prayer habits of Bible heroes<\/a>?<\/p>\n

1) Hide Your Face<\/strong><\/p>\n

Take Moses<\/a>, for example. On encountering the burning bush in the wilderness, God instructed Moses, \u201cTake off your sandals, for the place where you are standing is holy ground\u201d (Exodus 3:5, NIV). After God identified Himself as \u201cthe God of your father, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac and the God of Jacob,\u201d Moses \u201chid his face, because he was afraid to look at God\u201d (Exodus 3:6, NIV). Do you ever pray that way? Do you ever cover your face with your hands as you pray? Or even bow down with your face to the ground?<\/p>\n

2) Raise Your Arms<\/strong><\/p>\n

On a much later occasion, God\u2019s people were under attack, so Moses went up on a hill overlooking the battle. He lifted his hands\u2014perhaps in a gesture of prayer or blessing. While his arms were raised, the Israelite army prevailed. So Aaron and Hur positioned themselves on either side of Moses to help him keep his hands aloft until the battle was won (see Exodus 17:8-16). Why not try lifting your hands in prayer, raising them toward heaven? Or perhaps cupping your hands as if to receive from God?<\/p>\n

3) Ask Boldly<\/strong><\/p>\n

The prophet Elijah seemed to boldly ask God for big answers to prayer.<\/a> He asked for no rain for three and a half years. Then he asked for it to rain again (1 Kings 17\u201318). On Mt. Carmel, Elijah challenged the prophets of Baal to a contest and, after they failed, stepped out and prayed, \u201cLord, the God of Abraham, Isaac and Israel, let it be known today that You are God in Israel and that I am Your servant and have done all these things at Your command. Answer me, Lord, answer me, so these people will know that You, Lord, are God, and that You are turning their hearts back again\u201d (1 Kings 18:36-38, NIV). God answered Elijah\u2019s prayer that day with literal fire from heaven. How boldly do you pray? Do you shy away from asking God for \u201cbig\u201d things? Or do you pray like Elijah?<\/p>\n

4) Sing Your Prayers<\/strong><\/p>\n

Many of David\u2019s prayers have been preserved to this day because he didn\u2019t just \u201csay them,\u201d he sang<\/em> them. \u201cI will sing the Lord\u2019s praise<\/a>, for He has been good to me,\u201d he vowed (Psalm 13:6, NIV). He even sang about singing his prayers to God: \u201cI will sing a new song to You, my God; on the ten-stringed lyre I will make music to You\u201d (Psalm 144:9, NIV). So why not try praying like David? Sing a hymn to God. You can also make up your own tune to one of David\u2019s psalms. Or just put the prayer of your heart into a melody.<\/p>\n

5) Pray Three Times a Day<\/strong><\/p>\n

Though a royal decree had recently made his action illegal, \u201cThree times a day [Daniel] got down on his knees and prayed, giving thanks to his God, just as he had done before\u201d (Daniel 6:11, NIV). His practice sent him to the lion\u2019s den<\/a>, but also contributed to victory over the lions\u2014and the royal decree. Do you pray that way? Three times a day? Perhaps a pattern of morning, noon and evening prayer (see Psalm 55:17) will prepare you for some lion-taming victories of your own. <\/p>\n

6) Pray on Your Roof<\/strong><\/p>\n

Acts 10:9 describes a prayer practice of the Apostle Peter: \u201cAbout noon the following day\u2026 Peter went up on the roof to pray\u201d (NIV). Houses in that time and place often had flat roofs that provided cooler and calmer surroundings than the house below (where food was cooked, business conducted and even animals were kept). Do you have a special place of prayer<\/a>? A quiet place? Why not try praying like Peter and find a spot that encourages focus and fervency in prayer?<\/p>\n

These are just six simple prayer habits of some heroes of the Christian faith. We can learn much not only by imitating them but also by paying attention to the practices of others who pray often and well.<\/p>\n
