What Jesus said about prayer

The Scripture passage that we will study: Luke 11:1-13

When you read the following Scripture passage, ask the following three questions:

1. What do we learn about God from this passage?

(How is God revealing Himself to us in this passage: His character, works, commands, and promises?)

2. What do I learn about myself or people from this passage?

(What is God expecting from me? What needs to change in my life? What are my responsibilities?).

3. How can I apply and integrate these truths in my life?

(How must I obey God? How can I be a blessing to other people? What and for whom can I pray from this passage?).

Information to obedience: After studying Luke 11:1-13, what do you sense the Holy Spirit is saying and asking you to do? Because it is God speaking here, you have to respond. It is essential that when you read the Bible, you must transition from information to obedience: What must change in your life? Is there something that you sense – in the light of this Scripture passage - you need to do in the coming week? How can you be a blessing to other people around you? Be very specific. Respond to the Lord with an I will statement. An "I will statement" is a commitment to what you will practically do in the coming week in obedience to what the Spirit is saying to you.

-Can you make time to pray for seven unsaved people this week?

-Do you know someone who is sick for whom you can pray? Is it possible to visit that person, give a short word of encouragement, and offer to pray for them?

-Pray for opportunities to reach out to people in pain, lostness, and brokenness in the world around you. Ask the Lord how you can be a blessing to them. God will send you to such people or send them to you.
