1.
How much value do you place on God?
If God could be measured in currency, how much would He be worth to
you?
2. Is
it wrong to pray for yourself? Is
it wrong to only pray for
yourself?
3.
Here is a practical way to pray for the unreached people groups of the
world. Go to the following website:
http://operationworld.org/. Here you will find information on the
unreached people groups of the world.
You’ll even find a link where you can pray for a different nation
each day.
Today’s
nation to pray for is Peru.
4. Why is it important to “hallow” the name of God? Why is it important for others to honor
His name?
5. What new insight did you gain today about prayer?

“what
is man that you are mindful of him,
and the son of man that you care
for him?”
Psalm
8:4
Henceforth there is ylaid up for me zthe crown of
righteousness, which the Lord, athe righteous
judge, will award to me on bthat Day, and not
only to me but also to all cwho have loved his
appearing. “Whoever spares the rod hates his son, but he who loves him is
diligent to discipline him.”
Proverbs
13:24
“Folly is
bound up in the heart of a child, but the rod of discipline drives it far
from him.”
Proverbs 22:15

“And
when you pray, you must not be like the hypocrites. For they love to stand
and pray in the synagogues and at the street corners, that they may be seen
by others. Truly, I say to you, they have received their reward. 6 But
when you pray, go into your room and shut the door and pray to your Father
who is in secret. And your Father who sees in secret will reward you.
7 “And
when you pray, do not heap up empty phrases as the Gentiles do, for they
think that they will be heard for their many words. 8 Do
not be like them, for your Father knows what you need before you ask him. 9 Pray
then like this:
“Our
Father in heaven, hallowed be your name.10 Your kingdom
come, your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven.11 Give
us this day our daily bread,12 and forgive us our debts, as
we also have forgiven our debtors.13 And lead us not into
temptation, but deliver us from evil.
14 For
if you forgive others their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also
forgive you, 15 but if you do not forgive others their
trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses.
Matthew
6:1-15

What Does Hallow Mean?
And
the Lord said to Moses and Aaron, “Because you did not believe in me, to
uphold me as holy in the eyes of the people of Israel, therefore you shall
not bring this assembly into the land that I have given them.”
Numbers
20:12
“But
even if you should suffer for righteousness' sake, you will be blessed.
Have no fear of them, nor be troubled, 15 but in your
hearts honor Christ the Lord as holy, always being prepared to make a
defense to anyone who asks you for a reason for the hope that is in you;
yet do it with gentleness and respect”
1
Peter 3:14-15
3. Is This
Just a Prayer for Myself?
And
they sang a new song, saying,
“Worthy
are you to take the scroll and to open its seals, for you were slain, and
by your blood you ransomed people for God from every tribe and language and
people and nation,10 and you have made them a kingdom and
priests to our God, and they shall reign on the earth.”
Revelation
5:9-10
