Sermon on the Mount: Principles of Prayer

Read Matthew 7:7-12

When you prayed as a child, what were the things that you asked God for? How did that work out for you?

In what ways have your prayers changed as you've matured?

Do you tend to easily ask God for things, or do you hesitate to ask God for things? Why?

What kind of doubts do you face when you're waiting (needing to be persistent) for God to answer your prayers?

What are you pleased or encouraged about regarding your prayer life? What area do you struggle with?

What have you prayed for that in hindsight would have been a "stone" or a "snake" had God given you that which you requested?

Imagine that your prayers were recorded for others to read. (Yikes!) What would people learn about your view of God?

If you could ask God to do something significant in your life today and knew that He would grant your request, what would your request be?

What way does God want to use you to answer others' prayers? (Think about your passions and gifts.)
