Discussion Questions

Why might you be tempted to think of prayer as a drudgery? And while duty/discipline is a good thing, why is that not enough when it comes to the idea of prayer.
Why is it important to remember that without the work of Jesus, we have no right to talk to God? How is the gospel the foundation of our prayers?
How can you encourage yourself and others in your life to delight in God through prayer?
In your group, share with others what practical tools or methods have been helpful for you in your prayer life? Commit to trying something new in your prayers over the next week.

Prayer Points

Thank God for the access and invitation that we have been granted through Jesus.
Pray for the body of Christ to be built up, “blameless in holiness.”
Pray for non-Christians in your life to come to know the Lord Jesus.
Pray for Jesus to return soon, and pray that we would persevere in faithfulness until that day.
