Week 3 — O: Ongoing Conversation (Prayer)
Theme: Talking with God, not just to God
Key Scriptures:
• Matthew 6:9-13
• Philippians 4:6-7
• 1 Thessalonians 5:16-18
Big Truth: Prayer is a relationship, not a ritual.
Teaching:
• Breaking intimidation around prayer
• Using the Lord's Prayer as a model
• Listening as part of prayer
Discussion Questions:
What do you find easiest/hardest about prayer?
When do you feel closest to God?
What would change if prayer became a daily rhythm?
Practice for the Week:
• Try a simple daily pattern: Thank – Ask – Listen or ACTS - Adoration, Confession, Thanksgiving, Supplication
• Set aside 5–10 minutes each day
