Small Group Guide 

Rethinking prayer

   We need to see prayer…

· As an opportunity, not an obligation.

· As a conversation, not a monologue.

· As a relationship, not just a “request line.”

· As formative, not just perfunctory.
 

    We need to see The Lord’s Prayer…

· As personal, not as corporate.

· As a template, not as a script.
