We can do nothing good OF OUR OWN. Do you believe prayer is good? If so, than God prays to Himself according to you.

Do you believe prayer is good? Not of our own "goodness." Prayer is good only if it is cloaked in the rightousness of Jesus.

Gamecock is exactly right, not of our own GOODNESS. Plus, Jesus was not born with the sinful nature. So Jesus, in His humanity, COULD pray in goodness. That doesn't apply to you and me "of our own".
