Prayers related to Prayer and Fasting
- The grace not just to pray and to fast. Cry out to God to be able to pray and fast, that we may have the belief and faith to move even the most stubborn demon.
- As we wait on the Lord God pour strength into our lives.
- Thank the Lord for answered prayer.
Questions to Ponder
· Did anyone learn a life lesson during the last week? (What does “life lesson” mean?)
· Did you pray a prayer that touched your life?
Chorus: I have a Father, Almighty Father- If you have a Father: “I have a Father and I thank you”
Is there something for which someone would thank you for? Is there evidence of God in your life?
Can I improve my service for God? Where?
Thoughts from last week’s homework
…My life will count for something good!
- 1 Corinthians 13:11 ‘When I was a child, I talked like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child. When I became a man, I put the ways of childhood behind me.’
- 1 Cor 14:15 ‘What is the conclusion then? I will pray with the spirit, and I will also pray with the understanding. I will sing with the spirit, and I will also sing with the understanding’
