A Heart for Passion in Prayer

Connection Group- 06.17.11
Ladies,

This past Friday we learned "a passionate prayer life transforms everything"and more blessings that comes from a great prayer life.

- The Blessing of Greater Confidence in Decision Making: We can have confidence in our decisions when we make prayer an important part of daily life.

 What role if any does prayer play in your decisions?

-The Blessing of Greater Contentment: Selfish desires rob us of contentment and damage relationships with others. Contentment is gained by orienting ourselves to the ways of God and allowing Him to reorder our priorities and values.

What aspects of our day tend to make us discontent with life? Why prayer is a pathway to greater contentment?

- The Blessing of Greater Ministry though Prayer: Praying for others, known as intercessory prayer, is powerful, effective ministry.

How did others' prayers for you help you through difficult times?

- More Blessings:  The more we realize our utter dependence on God, the more we will be blessed through prayer.

Too often we don't realize we are dependent upon God until we are in a crisis and have nowhere else to turn. What, if anything, reminds you of dependence on God during an average day?

I hope to see you all on Friday at 10:30 am.

Love,
Carla
