Weekly Challenge -Prayer

Class,

Thanks for letting me lead this week.  What an awesome community we have where others can be graciously accepted to facilitate the class discussion and weekly topic.  

This week we continued our “Crossfit” training through the disciplines from Worship to Spirit-Led Prayer.  We drew upon the advice from Paul in Philippians 4:6-7 that our groans and moans are heard by God in our prayers much like David did in Psalms 55:16-17.  This can be our prayer and God understands that sometimes we can’t find the words.  Our challenge this week is to spend time meditating on Romans 8:26-27 and the promise we have about prayer being our medicine for our jacked up, stressed filled life.  Our trials and tribulations will result in added stress but, how we deal with it is what’s crucial.  As stress comes this week, pray to the Holy Spirit for our medicine which comes from our Father.  Be intentional with it and don’t stop!  Come to class ready to share how it changed the stress or helped deal with it.
