Today, we're sharing ways to guide your small group to be ready to pray with others and to stay in prayer themselves. LifeWayWomen OnTheBlog
Prayer means many things to many people. For a lot of people, in its simplest and most immediate form, prayer means asking God for help. Think about it. What are the ways you hear others pray? Do they usually ask God for help?
Prayer may be the boy asking God for a win for his favorite team or a student begging God to help her remember every answer for the exam. Prayer may be a dad asking God for wisdom on the best way to discipline his child, or prayer may be a small group asking God to help the sick, needy, or lost. We really do lump prayers together as equally important when, in reality, they represent a spectrum of concerns and needs.
When you have a small group member struggling through a cancer diagnosis or the loss of a job, the prayers are definitely more specific. Recently, the prayers of our small group and many others have become more focused. When you have a global pandemic of COVID-19 taking place in the middle of a cancer diagnosis and job loss, the prayers of the small group can become overwhelming.
How do you balance the list of prayer concerns that are specific with the prayer requests due to COVID-19 when people are not sure how to pray? How do you teach your small group to pray for one another and others when the needs around you continue to grow? People, including those in your small group, have a lot of philosophical and spiritual questions right now. Many are more sensitive and open to discussions about the Bible and God. Guide your small group to be ready to pray with others and to stay in prayer themselves. Prayer is communicating with God. He is the God of the universe. We can reflect praise, thanksgiving, adoration, confession, and petition back to God. And we are to approach God through the mediation of His son, Jesus.
