Lesson Overview

There are several common obstacles that can discourage us when we try to pray. In this lesson, we’ll identify the “main offenders” and several helpful strategies for overcoming them. God never intended prayer to be difficult, but rather a source of encouragement and strength in our relationship with Him. This lesson offers a practical “clinic” on prayer in everyday life.

Lesson Objectives

When you complete this lesson, you should be able to do the following:

  • Identify five separate challenges or obstacles to praying.
  • Ascertain several practical, scriptural strategies for overcoming obstacles to prayer.
  • Gain a deeper understanding of the potency of faith with regard to prayer.

Personal Reflection

As you proceed through this lesson have the following question in mind.
How does it make you feel to realize that any obstacle you face in prayer is not too difficult for God?
