Discussion: Prayer

When I was young, I didn’t really know what prayer was, how it sounded, or the point. People told me it was to ‘talk to God’, but I didn’t know who he was or why I would talk to him.

  • If someone asked you what prayer is, what would you say?
  • Do you pray? Why?
  • What should we pray about?
  • How do we know God hears us?

“[6] Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. [7] And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.” -Philippians 4:6-7 NIV

“[14] This is the confidence we have in approaching God: that if we ask anything according to his will, he hears us. [15] And if we know that he hears us—whatever we ask—we know that we have what we asked of him.” -1 John 5:14-15 NIV
