Taking the Sermon Into Our Week 

Scripture of the Week: James 4:8

                        Matthew 6: 5-15

From the Sermon:

 We don’t talk about the __________ of God enough.

Our human _______ are going to fall short of describing all of God.

The reality is we don’t spend the totality of our lives on the ________________. We travel through the mundane and the every day.

Jesus is telling his disciples that they need to learn how to pray in the midst of the ______________ of life.

When Jesus taught his disciples to pray he told them to pray that God’s ______ be done.

Part of prayer that we often disregard is waiting in ___________.

Reflection Questions:

Have you ever had a time in your life when you felt like you weren’t as close to God as you would like to be?

Have you ever had a dry season along your spiritual journey? What was that experience like for you?

When and where we fail to listen? Where are the places where we have a tight grip on what we desire and refuse to surrender to God? 

Prayer:

Lord God, teach us anew this week what it means to pray. To pray no matter what. To pray for your will and not ours. To pray like you taught your disciples to pray so long ago. Teach us the mystery of prayer. Amen.
