Pray For All Men
Paul's letter to Timothy is
a great guidebook on the life of the church, how to worship and serve God,
and how to live together. God desires that his people lead a certain kind of
life. The essential ingredient for that was for them to pray for all men.
Text: 1 Timothy 2: 1, 2 |

How Should I Pray?
Prayer connects us with the creator of the universe and helps
us become closer to our heavenly father. Because of this, how should I pray?
And are there things that can hinder my prayers? |

How My
Prayers May Be Hindered
Prayer is the Christian’s lifeline to God—vital, powerful, and deeply
personal. But Scripture warns that certain attitudes and behaviors can
hinder our prayers. In this lesson, we’ll explore seven biblical reasons why
prayers go unanswered and what we must do to keep that line of communication
open and effective. |

Help
Me Pray
Romans 8 has rightly been
called “The Holy Spirit Chapter.” In it, we
learn how the Spirit instructs, influences,
and intercedes for believers. Through the
Spirit’s guidance, we walk in righteousness,
put sin to death, and even find help in
prayer when words fail. Truly, Christians
are richly blessed.

Lord's
Prayer Prayer is one of the
five essential acts of Christian worship, yet many struggle to understand
how and when to pray. In this lesson, we turn to Jesus’ model prayer in
Matthew 6 and Luke 11 to learn how to pray with faith, reverence, and
sincerity from the heart. |

Why Pray?
God gave us the gift of free will—the ability to choose. That
includes the choice to pray or not to pray. In James 4, we’re reminded that
sometimes we don’t have simply because we don’t ask. Today’s lesson explores
why choosing to pray is both powerful and essential. |

The
Lord's Prayer

is more than words—it’s worship. In Matthew 6 and Luke 11, Jesus didn’t give
us a script to memorize, but a model to follow. This lesson explores the
Lord’s Prayer not as a ritual, but as a guide for heartfelt, faithful
communication with our Heavenly Father through Christ. |

thankful, earnest, and always seeking His presence. |

How God Answers Prayer
Does God still work in our lives, or has He stepped away? The
Bible teaches that God, through His providence, hears and answers the
prayers of His people. This lesson explores how God responds—not always with
miracles, but through wisdom, timing, and divine care for His children. |

declaration of our desire for God's rule to be established here and
now. |

Prayer (The Children of God)
Series Lesson 7
Prayer is
a profound privilege granted to the children of God. It is through
prayer that believers communicate with their Heavenly Father,
expressing adoration, seeking guidance, and laying down burdens. In
Matthew 6:9, Jesus instructs His disciples to begin their prayers
with "Our Father in heaven," highlighting the intimate relationship
between God and His children. This address is not merely a
formality; it signifies a deep, familial bond established through
faith in Christ. |

Deliver Us from Evil
Series Lesson
8
Prayer is one of the most
intimate and powerful privileges we have as children of God. In
the Lord’s Prayer, Jesus taught His disciples to ask for
deliverance from evil or “the evil one.” This is not merely a
poetic conclusion to a prayer—it’s a profound acknowledgment of
the spiritual battle every soul is engaged in. We live in a
world filled with temptation, suffering, and deception, and we
need God’s protection and strength to navigate it faithfully.
Jesus emphasized the importance of praying not to be led into
temptation and for deliverance from the power of Satan. In this
lesson, we will explore the meaning behind these words and what
it means to pray for deliverance in our lives. |

prayers? Sometimes with a clear “yes,” other times with “wait,”
or even “no.” But every response is rooted in His perfect wisdom
and love. This lesson explores the ways God answers, teaching us
to trust, be patient, and keep praying in faith without limiting
His power. |

Four Kinds of
Prayer
In
Psalm 42:8, the psalmist declares, “The Lord will
command His lovingkindness in the daytime, and in
the night His song shall be with me—a prayer to the
God of my life.” This beautiful verse reminds us
that prayer is not just a ritual—it’s a lifeline to
our Heavenly Father. As God’s children, we are
blessed with the privilege of addressing the
Almighty Creator personally, calling Him “our
Father.” The Bible describes several types of
prayer, often remembered using the acronym ACTS:
Adoration, Confession, Thanksgiving, and
Supplication. Whether we include one or all of these
in a single prayer, they are the pillars of a
meaningful and faithful prayer life. |

Effective
Prayer
Do you ever feel like your
prayers aren’t being heard? That they lack power or result? You
are not alone in feeling this way. But God’s Word assures us
that prayer is meant to be effective, powerful, and able to
“avail much.” In James 5:13–18, the inspired writer reminds us
that "the effective, fervent prayer of a righteous man avails
much." This passage calls us to a deeper, more meaningful
relationship with God through prayer. But how can we make our
prayers more effective? The Bible reveals several vital
principles that can strengthen our communication with God and
make our petitions more powerful. |

Are We a
Praying Church?
Jesus once cleansed the
temple with righteous anger, declaring it should be a house of
prayer. Today, the church is that temple. Are we fulfilling that
identity? This lesson challenges us to consider whether we are
truly a praying church—and what God expects from a people
devoted to prayer. |

When We Pray (Matthew 6:5-8)
In Matthew 6, Jesus teaches His disciples how to
pray—not just with words, but with the right heart. True prayer
isn’t about performance or repetition. It’s about sincere,
private communion with the Father. In just four verses, Jesus
reveals powerful lessons that shape how and why we should pray
today. |
