1. Stand your ground
- Scripture Reference: Ephesians 6:10-13
- Leader Notes
-
- This kind of persistence would be a shameless act that would wake the whole household.
- Standing your ground only works if your foundation is firm. If we stand on things other than God we are standing on sinking sand.
- Questions for Reflection
- Where is God calling you to steadfastly trust Him in this season?
2. Ask, Seek, Knock
- Scripture Reference: Isaiah 55:8-9; Matthew 6:33
- Leader Notes
-
- We have to listen, learn from, and obey God.
- Part of prayer is embracing the journey as our prayers transform us into the image of Jesus.
- Questions for Reflection
- When was the last time you spent time listening to the Lord in prayer?
- Share a time where God's 'no' to your prayer was actually a blessing that you were able to see in hindsight.
3. Trust the Father
- Scripture Reference: Luke 12:28
- Leader Notes
-
- We can get disappointed if God answers our prayers differently than we expect.
- Trusting God means trusting that He knows what’s best for us, and for the people around us.
- Questions for reflection
- Is there any area in your heart where disappointment has prevented you from praying?
- What does “Keep Knocking” in prayer mean to you in this season?
