Listen for God's answer

In week 5 of Lord Teach us to Pray, Chris Pedro speaks on the importance of having a dialogue with God in our prayers.

Dive deeper into this weekend's message with these discussion questions!

Week Five — Hab. 1-3

General:

How would our conversations be different today if we were all on a party line...subject to many others listening in? Is it any different knowing that God not only hears our conversations, but knows our thoughts as well?
How are you regarded by your family, friends, colleagues: One who asks questions or one who is quick to provide answers?
What areas in your life do you need help with so that your response to these areas is righteous in nature?
Do you believe that God really does sovereignly controls every power even in the midst of tragedy or crisis?
What does living righteously look like to you?

Take Home 1: Prayer is more than just communication with God, it's communion with God (Hab. 2:1)

How would you define your relationship with God right now?
Our prayer life requires us to speak with and listen to God. How much speaking do I do and how much listening do I do as I pray?
Do you believe God can/is actually speaking to you? If you do, what is He saying?
Is there a time in your life where God answered your prayer or spoke to you? How did you respond?

Take Home 2: Prayer ought to be composed of sincerity & vulnerability (Hab. 1:2)

What is lament? How would you define lament?
How should we, as Christians, respond to the wrongfulness of life?
What's your "heart's cry / burden?"
Do you continuously bring the things that are heavy on your heart before God? Who else do you share these matters with in your life?

Take Home 3: Prayer reminds us to be people who live by faith (Hab. 2:4)

In your own personal prayer time, do you see prayer as a time to grow in your faith?
What difficult circumstances or situations are you going through right now?
Do you believe that prayer can change you?
