Luke 11:1–13 | The Way of Prayer
Perception of Prayer
“Lord, teach us to pray…” (v.1)
- Why do you pray the way you do?
- Is your view of God shaping your prayer life—or is your experience shaping your view of God?
- Could it be that what you believe about who you pray to matters more than how you pray?
Persistence in Prayer
“Give us each day…” (v.3)
- What are you reaching for when life gets hard—a prescription or persistence?
- Do you want solutions more than you want to walk with the Solution-Giver?
- Could the daily repetition of prayer be God’s gift, not His delay?
Posture in Prayer
“I have nothing to set before him…” (v.6)
- Are you coming to God with demands, or with dependence?
- What if God isn’t looking for strength in your prayers, but surrender?
- Can you have the right words, the right discipline… and still the wrong heart?
Promise of Prayer
“How much more will the Father give the Holy Spirit…” (v.13)
- What if the thing you’re asking for isn’t really what your soul needs?
- What if God answers every prayer—by giving you more of Himself?
- Is it possible you’ve been knocking on the wrong door?
Questions to Sit With This Week
- What do I really want when I pray?
- Do I see prayer as access to God, or access to answers?
- Have I mistaken God’s silence for His absence?
- Would I be satisfied with getting what I asked for—but not getting more of Him?
