Talking With God

Teaching points

  • Prayer is communication with God and a practiced expression of dependence. It makes room for praise, honest confession, thanksgiving, and requests.
  • Read the assigned pages in the original workbook. Use the Scripture references to examine the teaching before answering the reflection and knowledge check.

Read in Scripture

  • Matthew 6:9–13
  • Philippians 4:6–7

Reflect

  • What makes prayer difficult for you in this season?
  • What does the passage teach, and what is one question you want to explore with a mentor?

Put it into practice

  • Choose a regular time for prayer and write a brief prayer in your own words.
