Discussion Questions
-
Have you ever felt like your prayers somehow didn’t measure up?
-
Yes many times especially praying in front of people. However, . I always start thanking Jesus and then the words start to flow.
-
Most of the time. That is why I am so grateful for this study and for all your comments.
-
I would be surprised, if everyone has not felt like that at one time or another. Not only did I feel inadequate in the way I prayed, I also felt intimidated.
Who was I to speak to the CREATOR of all things? Why would he listen to little old me? I was a complete mess surrounded by toxic relationships.
I knew plenty of people that could recite large parts of the Bible and could pray ever so eloquently.
I didn’t know how to pray the way they did. But, I knew I needed Him. I knew He could provide me with guidance and direction.
So, I began to pray. I would pray, as if He were sitting next to me. And, that is when I came to know Him, and a loving relationship with Him. -
Yes, and I searched literature on how to pray. I have always prayed the Lord’s Prayer and still do sometimes.
-
Yes, I did and sometimes still do at times feel that my prayers somehow didn’t measure up , but I don’t let that feelings prolonged for too long in my mind. I would remember and quote scriptures from Paul in Philippians 3:12-14, especially Philippians 3:14 – Paul said to pressed on towards the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus.

What is your favorite prayer from God’s Word?
-
The Lord’s Prayer
-
The Lord’s Prayer and the prayer in Ephesians 1 v 17-23
-
I have several prayers that I have leaned on through the years. However, I have spent a great deal of time studying Psalm 23. It has always meant a lot to me.
-
The Lords Prayer
-
My favourite pray from God’s words is prayers that strengthen my faith in God. Isaiah 12:2 – Behold,God is my salvation, I will trust and not be afraid; for “YAH, the Lord, is my strength and song; He also has become my salvation.”
-
Why is true prayer about more than just words?
-
It is about our heart towards the LORD.
-
True prayer is praying from the heart.
-
Prayer is more than simply about words. Ultimately, it is about our relationship with God.
-
True prayer is more than just words because sometimes our ability to articulate words to describe our worship or need simply isn’t enough. Some of my most heartfelt prayers couldn’t be put into words or at least the depth of them couldn’t be. That’s when I think about the scripture saying the Holy Spirit is making intersession for us with groanings to deep for words.
-
True prayer is from the heart and soul.
