1. Have someone in your group give a brief recap of Sunday’s message, highlighting the primary Scripture points and the main idea of the message.
2. How has this message series strengthened and/or corrected your previous ideas about prayers, and specifically prayers for the church? Was there anything you heard for the first time or that caught your attention, challenged, or confused you? Did you learn anything new about God or yourself this week?
3. What’s something recently that has shaken you—personally, in your family, in our culture, or in the church? How did you respond? 
4. How might remembering your true identity in Christ change the way you pray for yourself and others? 
5. How has God’s grace enriched your life, even in ways you might not normally notice? 
6. Where do you see the church (locally or globally) shaken by division, compromise, or cultural pressure? How can you pray with confidence for the church instead of just with worry? 
7. Think of someone in your life who seems far from God or stuck in sin. How would your prayers change if you prayed with confidence in what Christ can do rather than discouragement over what you see?
8. What action step do you need to take in response to this week’s message? How can your group hold you accountable to this step?

 

Action Step

1. Pray with Confidence: Choose one person in your community who is struggling and commit to praying for them daily this week, using Paul’s framework:
   • Thank God for who they are in Christ
   • Thank God for what they have in Christ
   • Thank God for where they’re headed in Christ
2. Encourage someone in their identity: write a short note, text, or call someone reminding them of their identity in Christ.
