Jesus Prayed 8 Times in the Bible. 7 Start the Same Way. One Doesn't.

Jesus prayed eight times where the Gospels give us his exact words. Seven of them begin with the same word. One does not. We read all eight in order, line by line, and look at what they share. In the middle of this list there are two prayers of thanks, one honest "save me from this hour," the longest prayer of his life (almost entirely for other people), the garden, a prayer for the men driving the nails, and a line from a Psalm at the worst moment of all. We also look at why the Lord's Prayer is not on the list, and what he prayed for Peter.
