Reflecting on Prayer

This week, we're starting to read through a book together and we've committed to pray each day for our trip. Some of the things we are thinking about:

1. Name several blessings we receive from God through prayer.
2. In your own words, describe why prayer is so vital to every area of your life and relationship to God.
3. What do you think it means to pray from God's perspective rather than from a selfish perspective?
4. In your own words, describe God's purposes for your prayer life.
5. Do you think God has called you to experience a powerful prayer life? Why or why not?

Father God, I ask You to fill me with a passion to know You and love You with all my heart (Matt 22:37). Lord, teach me to view prayer as the heart of our relationship (Luke 11:1). Please enable us to hear Your voice and pray in the center of Your will (1 John 5:14-15).
