1. As a group or with a friend discuss:
a. What do you think prayer is?
b. Why do you believe prayer is important?
c. Do you think a person can be a Christian and not pray?
2. Individually or as a group, examine the two versions of the Lord’s Prayer (Matthew 6:9-13 and Luke 11:2-4) found in the gospels.
a. What are the differences?
b. When might one of the versions be more appropriate than the other in your spiritual life?
c. Why do you think the Lord’s Prayer is important to Christianity? To you?
3. Locate six (6) prayers in the Bible (at least 2 of Jesus’ and 2 in the Old Testament), then:
a. Read / listen to each prayer
b. Discover who prayed, what they prayed for, and why they prayed.
c. Discover the result of each prayer
4. Learn the A C T S for prayer and list an example of a prayer of each type in the Bible.
A – Adoration (Praise)
C – Confession
T – Thanksgiving
S – Supplication (Requests)
5. As a group or with a friend, read / listen to and discuss the chapter on Prayer in the book Steps to Christ.
- Chapter 11 can be found here to read {http://steps-to-christ.org/StepstoChrist.pdf here] and various other places.
- Listen at Steps to Christ, ch. 11 - The Privilege Of Prayer or here
Remember to discuss your reading with someone else who has read the chapter as well.
6. As a group or with a friend, discuss how you have seen God answer personal prayer, whether your prayers or those of a friend or family member.
- If you don't personally know a missionary, checkout AFM for profiles and stories of specific missionaries in frontier mission situations (like Turkey, Central Asia, various parts of Africa) to pray for. These missionaries can use all the help they can get as they work against the forces of evil.
- Someone in your family or friendship circle is likely ill, or you might ask around.
- A local newspaper is a good source for prayer topics.
Sharing your experiences will help confirm your completion of this requirement. Prayer will also make you more aware of other's needs.
8. Pray with someone that has a physical, emotional, or spiritual need.
This should be quite easy to fulfill since most everyone has one or more needs.
