Opening Thoughts

• Remembering what we’ve learned so far…
• What is the basic pattern of prayer?

On Aligning with God

• Quick takes on Matthew 6:9-10:

  • “Hallowed be your name”
  • “Your kingdom come”
  • “Your will be done”

• More on the “kingdom” of God/heaven –

  • Genesis 1 – “kings and queens”

  • ________________ kingdom by ________________ power

• As we pray, we must be ready to________________.

Challenge: pray for the alignment of different parts of your life with God’s honor/kingdom/will.

Questions for Discussion and Reflection

• What other breakdowns of the elements of prayer have you heard in the past? How can all these help us? What are their limitations?

• How might it help strengthen or regulate your prayer life to think in terms of address, align, ask?

• What parts of your life are properly aligned with God’s honor/kingdom/will? What parts are not?

• Why is prayer the first step in aligning our lives with God’s value and purposes?

• Is there anything you currently sense God commanding you to do? Will you do it?
