Prayer Point for the Week:

Let us pray God would help us to pray with wisdom and in accordance with his will.

Questions for Reflection

1. Have you ever misused or been careless with a powerful tool or appliance? What were the results? What can these experiences teach us about praying responsibly?

2. There are several items that scripture clearly teaches should not be on our prayer list. What are those things? Do you find yourself praying for those things? Why do people fall into praying for things that God has already taken care of? What enables us to overcome the fears that lead to needless prayers?

3. Scripture teaches us that at times, God keeps us from trial and difficulty. Other times, God walks with us through those difficult times. How should we pray when facing difficulty? What should we expect?
