Discussion Questions
-
Discuss Dr. Banks’ statement that when we live prayerfully in the moment with God, “He will take us places and show us things that we otherwise would not see.”
-
When we are focused on God, giving Him our full attention free from distractions including the concerns we have over the issues we are bringing Him in prayer- it opens our minds to be receptive to the places and things of God that He longs to give us insight to.
When you go with God, you get what God gives… -
Too often we focus on ourselves and our problems, missing out on the promises. Joseph is a great example of living prayerfully in the moment with God. Although he experienced great challenges, with God he was exploded to powerful people. This exposure prepared him for the awesome role God had in his life.
-
We are spiritually blind, so when we pray in the moment we have our eyes open to what He has for us .
-
What does it mean to not only talk with God, but also to be with Him when we pray?
-
We ascend to feeling His Presence with us wherever we may be, but even more so when we recluse ourselves from everything else around us to be solely with Him in personal private conversations.
-
We must remember to focus on the one whom we are praying to and not the problems we present to Him. It’s all about our relationship with the Lord.
-
He knows what we need, so he provides us with the stuff that we need. Talking to Him and Walking with him is two different things.
-
Why do you think God wants us to live lives that are connected to Him through prayer?
-
God wants us to live the superlative life He has laid out for us and to ascend to that calling we must be closely guided by Him to do so.
-
As David noted, in the presence of the Lord is where we will find the fullness of joy!
-
He knows about us and our lives. He has a plan for our lives and wants us to live by His plan for us.
