Prayer Point for the Week:
Let us pray that God would teach us to both bring our needs to God and then leave them with Him.
Questions for Reflection:
1. Why can we have confidence that we can and should pray for ourselves? Do you take time everyday to pray for yourself? Are your prayers general or specific? What items to you need to add to your prayer list for yourself?
2. Being humble and bold at the same time seems to be impossible. Who in scripture demonstrates this ability? What are some of the ways that you can maintain a blend of confidence and humility necessary for an effective prayer life?
3. Desperate prayers are powerful prayers. Recount the times in your life when you prayed a desperate prayer and God answered. How intense was your prayer? Do you ever find it difficult to maintain that level of intensity? How can you maintain a desperate heart?
