ENGAGING GOD
“PRAYER I” - MATTHEW 7.7-11
As we begin this journey together it is overwhelming to consider again that the great God of the universe actually wants us to pursue Him and wants to give us good gifts. In one sense, this is what the whole journey is about; our whole body pursuing God ‘whole hog.’
- Somewhere in the beginning of this week take a moment to list out all of the good gifts you can remember that God has already given to you. With that list read the first two chapters of Ephesians and again list out all the things mentioned there that God gives to us.
- As the week progresses, use these lists to launch you into a time of prayer, a time of seeking after God by remembering how faithful God has been. Of course you can continue to add things to your list from your own life and other points in scripture.
- At the end of the week, reflect and record how this shaped your thinking and conversation with God. What have you learned about seeking God this week?
“Nothing is more central in the spiritual life than prayer.”

“The church exists for nothing else but to draw men into Christ, to make them little Christs.”
~ C.S. Lewis
