1. Read John 15:7. Prayer is talking with God about the life we’re living together.

• How is this different from how you’ve been defining prayer?
• Where have you been pursuing authority instead of intimacy?

2. Which of these is the most significant obstacle in your prayer life and why?

• Not having a heart for prayer
  
• Not having the patience to practice prayer

3. Read Mark 11:24. Our view of prayer reveals what we believe about God and ourselves. As you look at the way you have or haven’t arranged your life around prayer, what does that reveal to you about your beliefs? Where are you being invited to repent (change your thinking) about prayer?

4. Read 1 Thessalonians 5:16-18 and Philippians 4:6-7. How will you practically arrange or rearrange your life to be aware God is real, accessible, and available in every moment?

Start every morning and end every day by simply becoming aware of God.

Jesus, help us be aware of Your presence in every moment.
