The Word of God and Prayer

Session Four Worksheet for Group Four

 

Praying the prayer of faith

Prayer and the Word

Holding on to God’s promises

Enduring in prayer

God’s Word and prayer go hand in hand.

So in order to become people of prayer,

we need to develop a vital relationship with the Word of God,

such as hiding the Word of God in our hearts with Tell THE Story.

We need to grow in the faith that comes from knowing the Holy Bible

and calling on God to fulfill God’s promises.

Because God understands how hard it is for us to realize that no situation is too big for God, God has filled the Holy Bible

with reminders of God’s awesome power and promises of God’s faithfulness.

We need these reminders as encouragement

whenever we face those big, immovable “mountains” that challenge our faith.

Why should any of us wait one more minute to receive what we need from God?

...Let this be our day to experience a breakthrough moment

in which we will receive help through the loving power of our prayer-answering God.

The great challenge is to keep praying and enduring in prayer and persevering in prayer

until that moment of favor comes, when God does what God has promised to do.
