Prayer is messy: It takes us on a journey

“Anyone who lives on milk, being still an infant, is not acquainted with the teaching about righteousness. But solid food is for the mature, who by constant use have trained themselves to distinguish good from evil.”

-Hebrews 5:13-14

You, my friends, have done WELL in the training. Whether you stayed awake every morning or fell asleep sitting up, your effort is more than no effort. And each baby step in the race towards Jesus counts! We are growing up in our faith, moving from infants to teens, in our knowledge of God and His character. We can now communicate better and hear His voice with better clarity. Let us not regress for the sake of comfort after today!

For our last morning to gather together, we will look back on these past 5 weeks, where we spilled our secrets to Jesus in the dark of morning.

Let’s pray:

1.) Sit in the quiet. Ask the Holy Spirit to bring to your memory how He has revealed himself to you these past 5 weeks. How have you heard His voice? How have you seen Him in the little details? How has your faith grown? Look over your journal or notes. What prayers has God answered?

2.) Ask God to take you to a particular part in the Bible that HE wants to speak to you about. Just try it. Ask for a book of the Bible and a verse. When you hear something, go there and see what God says to you through it!

3.) Pray for a plan and share with your group. How will you continue your consistent prayer life moving forward? It may not be at 5am, but it will require just as much intentionality. This season may look different than anything in your past, so be open to what He reveals.
