Say What? Here's How to Pray

Here are some questions to help you process this message:

1. Would you say you are an extrovert or introvert? (One word only!) 

2. Let’s talk about prayer: Everyone has their own unique way of praying–none is better than the other and it’s important to respect each other's preferences. How do you pray? In your head? On paper? Out loud but privately while you drive or walk? Formally, eyes closed and hands folded on your lap?

3. What do you call God when you pray? Father, Jesus, Lord, God…or something else?

4. Who taught you how to pray? 

5. How has your prayer life changed over time? 

6. How have you experienced answers to prayer? Share any challenges you may have about prayer with your group.

7. Spend a few minutes praying for each other. It doesn’t have to be out loud–it can be awkward silence, too. :) 

8. Read John 17:20-26, where Jesus prays for believers. Discuss what it means to be one with Jesus - what does unity look like in the church today? 

9. Read Ephesians 1:15-23, Paul’s prayer for the early church. 

10. Take time to pray for the church
