Praying His Words

SERMON DISCUSSION QUESTIONS

1. Read Psalm 22:1. These were the same words that Jesus prayed on the cross. Why did Jesus mean by this? Have you ever felt these feelings during a hard time? Why was it ok for Jesus to talk to God in this manner? Discuss.

2.Read Psalm 23. This scripture gives a break down in how we should pray. Have you used this passage as an outline for prayer? Discuss as a group some of your own personal prayer methods and what has worked best for your personal walk with the Lord.

3.Read Philippians 4:19. God wants us to know that He will provide for our needs when we ask Him to. What are some of your most important needs right now? Discuss them with each other and pray for one another.

4. Read 1 Peter 1:14-16. God keeps us and he has paid for all of our sin and debts. He longs for us to be holy as He is. What are some areas that you are struggling with that keep you from growing in that holiness?

5. Read Psalm 23:4-5. Discuss some times where you were in a very difficult spot and you felt God with you. Talk with the group about a time where you knew God was defending you.
