The Purpose, Practice, and Power of Prayer: A Saddleback Church Small Group Study

The Scripture makes it clear that we are in a great cosmic battle. It is not a battle against people. It is a battle against spiritual forces of evil that are trying to destroy the work of God—in the world, and in our lives. But God has equipped us, empowered us, authorized us, and called us to partner with him in accomplishing his purposes on the earth. And we do it primarily through prayer.

Final Episode! Episode 6 of The Purpose Practice and Power of Prayer series. This is a church small group Bible study series from Buddy Owens at Saddleback Church in Lake Forest, California.

CHECKING IN

1. Share something you are thankful for.

2. How did our lesson on “Praying with Persistence and Power” impact your prayers this past week?

KEY VERSE
In all things God works for the good of those who

love him.

Romans 8:28 (NIV)

DISCUSSION QUESTIONS

What do you take away from Job’s story and from his
response to God?
“Jesus knows what it’s like to pray to a God who says ‘no.’ ” Discuss this truth.
Do you have a vivid example in your life of God’s “no” turning out to be a “yes”?
How have you grown as a result of this study? What changes have you made or do you plan to make? How do you see prayer differently?

PUTTING IT INTO PRACTICE

This week, start and end each day praying with your hands the way Buddy closed this session. Start with your hands open and bring your requests before God. Turn your palms down, surrendering to God. Then turn your hands back up to receive God’s grace.

PRAYER DIRECTION

As a group, thank God for the work he has done and the seeds he has planted through this study. Ask him to continue growing each group member’s prayer life. Thank him for being a God who listens to us, cares about what we care about, and loves us unconditionally.

DIVING DEEPER

Dive deeper this week by watching Pastor Rick’s message, “What to Remember When Things Don’t Go Your Way.”
