Text: Matthew 6:5–8, 9–15
Questions:
- How often do you pray in your home? Have you ever intentionally gone to a quiet place to pray? What could this look like for you?
- Where in this text do we see God’s character, and how does it lead us to Adore/Worship him in our prayers?
- How does this text help us to pray in asking God for our needs to be met (Supplication) and also our sins to be forgiven (Confession)?
Prayer Points:
- Heavenly Father, would you help grow and build my/our prayer life. Help us to pray faithfully as this text describes.
- Lord God, would you grow FBC Irving as people to pray more faithfully in our homes. May we be a people of prayer when we gather back together.
- Lord, may we teach and model for the younger generation how to pray, and what a faithful prayer life looks like. May we pray for them that they all come to know you by faith.
