WELCOME ICEBREAKER

What was a recent answer to prayer you had?

WORSHIP

Acts 2:46-47 — Review noting the results of praising God.

WORD

Read Matthew 6:5-7 and Luke 10:38-42.

  • What is your place of prayer — your prayer room?
  • Martha was distracted
    • What distracted her?
    • As a group discuss what distracts us and why the enemy persists at this.
  • How do we balance serving and keeping our God-given priorities?
  • If Jesus was to take Mary aside, what advice do you think He would give her?
  • Jesus said Martha was worried and troubled about many things. What effect does this have on our prayer life? How should we handle this?
  • Read 1 Peter 5:6-7
  • What do you think it means the Father will reward us openly?
  • Read Psalm 91:1-16 and if time permits review the benefits of dwelling in the secret place. Remember to keep discussion time to about 45 minutes.

“Because he loves me,” says the LORD , “I will rescue him;
I will protect him, for he acknowledges my name.
He will call upon me, and I will answer him;
I will be with him in trouble,
I will deliver him and honor him.
With long life will I satisfy him and show him my salvation.”

Psalm 91:14-16 — NIV
