This booklet is an in‐depth study about prayer adapted and expanded from the Self-Confrontation manual, Lesson 3. It is an even more in-depth study about a set of astonishing truths: that God speaks to us through His Word and that He gives us the ability and privilege to speak to Him in return.
The study is broken into 17 short segments in a workbook format with Scripture passages to look up and questions to answer. Designed for both personal or small group studies, even those who have been believers for a long time will be challenged by the wealth of content in this study.
We often relegate prayer to the times when we are most desperate. But we find in the Scriptures that the true value of prayer is not so much about God’s changing our circumstances but about His changing us. It is more about His conforming us to the image of Christ (Romans 8:29), and not so much about trying to conform His will to our desires.
Topics in this study include:
– What we are to pray
– How we are to pray
– When we are to pray
– The result of our prayer
– Commands regarding prayer
– Examples of people who prayed
– Scriptures that record Jesus praying
– Scriptures that tell what Jesus prayed
Use in your personal devotional study time to deepen in your understanding of what to pray and how to practice prayer throughout your day. This is part of our abiding in Christ.

The What God’s Word Says about Prayer booklet is designed specifically for use as a small group or discipleship Bible study. Group participants study each lesson at home before covering the material in the group. This format helps build into the group members the regular habits of Bible study, prayer, Scripture memory, and obedience to the Lord. Participants who do not do the homework can still follow the key points during the group time. They just may not get the full benefit of the study.
