How Should We Pray?

Monday: How are we shaped by God’s priorities? What are those priorities? (v. 9)

Tuesday: What are the hurdles or distractions that keep you from a habit of prayer? Why is gratitude the key to growth? (v. 10; 12)

Wednesday: How does prayer reveal our maturity? What areas suffer lack of growth because of hesitation to pray?

Thursday: In which direction for you does prayer feel like labor; a chore or a labor of love? How can we grow in mirroring Paul’s and Christ’s love for the Church?

Friday: Consider the connection of prayer and liberty from the domain of darkness. Do you pray to grow through affliction or to escape affliction? How should our redemption and forgiveness of sins affect our prayers?

Saturday (Bonus): Think back. What “beloved fellow servant” do you thank God for teaching you about his grace? In whose life might you be that beloved fellow servant?
