- Regarding the praying spirit mentioned above, describe how one can pray through the day as one sees the different needs around him. Give some practical examples.
- Prayer requests are special. What should you do if you hear rumors going around? How is this different from prayer requests?
- From the frequency with which you pray and the passion and kind of prayers that you bring before God, evaluate what you really believe about prayer. (For example, if I do not pray every day, I really believe that pray is not necessary for each day. If I really did believe it was crucial, then I would pray each day. See the message for more examples.)
