PRAYER. The BIG six-letter word.


What is PRAYER? Do you find it hard to pray? Why?
These questions were addressed today. We did a short group discussion, watched a video - profound and insightful, heard a "so-called" demo of praying by XYZ's zone leaders, and set off to pray :)

Don't be scared of the BIG six-letter word. Prayer is simply talking to God - just like you talk to your friend. Opinions on whether it's hard to pray varies from individual to individual.

Let's examine the three points for today:
1) PRAYER is being completely/brutally honest with God and ourselves. Be frank, open up yourselves to God. "honesty is the best policy"

2) PRAYER changes you and me. It does... It changes the way you think or see things...

3) PRAYER - The Holy Spirit helps us to pray.
Romans 8:26 - "In the same way, the Spirit helps us in our weakness. We do not know what we ought to pray for, but the Spirit intercedes for us with groans that words cannot express"

Let's start to call prayer a privilege and a pride :)
Have a great week ahead. God bless!!
