Prayer That Accomplishes Your Mission

Episode Summary. God wants your prayer life to be filled with petitions and intercession for others and for the advance of His kingdom. He wants answers to such prayer to become your frequent and thrilling experience. Scripture says, If we ask anything according to his will he hears us. And if we know that he hears us in whatever we ask, we know that we have the requests that we have asked of him (1 Jn 5:13-14).John tells us that prayer is essentially a blank check, with one important caveat: We must prayer according to the will of God. This episode explores what it means to pray according to God’s will so that our prayers move the kingdom of righteousness forward and we know the joy of seeing God work.

2. What do you think is the significance of Jesus telling us that our very first request in prayer is that God’s name be hallowed?
3. In your own words what does it mean to pray, “May your kingdom come. May your will be done on earth as it is in heave”?
4.  How should Jesus’ promise, “If you abide in me, and my words abide in you, ask whatever you wish, and it will be done for you” shape your prayer life?
