Small Group Questions - May 9th, 2021

Opening

Check in, share story-boards, pray for the conversation you are about to have.

Have you learned a prayer pattern? Do you use one?

Discussion:

1. Is there anything from the passage or message that stuck out for you?

2. Who do you tend to address in prayer? (father, God, Lord, Jesus, Holy Spirit, etc)

3. Do you tend to think of God as a personal heavenly parent or more of a holy and almighty being?

4. How might praying "your kingdom come" adjust your prayers?

5. What are some daily needs you might ask your heavenly father to provide?

6. How does it feel to see that Jesus connects being forgiven with being forgiving?

7. Is there a challenging place in your journey where you know you are meant to go, but also need to pray "lead me not into temptation"?

8. How do you respond to Jesus comparing praying to an annoying friend begging at your door at midnight?

Application

Is there anything you will adjust in how you pray based on this conversation?

Spend time praying with and for each other.
