LAST WEEK
This week we finished our two-week series on prayer by talking about how to pray. To get an example of what it means to pray that God’s will is accomplished, we turned to the book of Psalms to see how King David prayed. Our focus was on Psalm 31. Throughout these verses, you can see David struggling with people around him. He turns to God for help, because God is David’s rock and fortress. Like David, we all go through tough times, and we may feel like everyone around us is trying to cause us harm. And like David, we all need to turn to God in prayer.
Using David as our model, we talked about several ways we can pray—the “how” of prayer to build on the “why” of prayer from our previous lesson. Start by affirming your trust in God. Thank God for answered prayers, protection, provisions, and changes in your life. Be specific when you pray. And continue pursuing God’s will and purposes for your life.
This week, take some time and talk to your child about prayer. Here are some potential questions:
- What prayer habits are you developing?
- How would you characterize the way you pray?
- How are David’s prayers different from your prayers? What do you really like about the way David prays?
You might also want to take time to talk about how God has answered specific prayers in your life—maybe even some of the prayers from your family prayer time this past week. Continue to encourage your teenager to pray for God’s will.
I pray that you and your family have a blessed week!
