Really appreciated this work! I particularly enjoyed the questions that had you write out your own personal prayer of confession and prayer of lament. Looked to Scripture with examples of people praying as the basis for our own prayers. Emphasizes the importance of corporate prayer.
Summary: Praying is talking to God. Praying shows that God is worthy of our praise and trust and that we depend on God. Praying also unites us together as God’s people and this unity glorifies God. Churches should spend significant time praying together, as demonstrated in the New Testament churches, regularly and also in response to special circumstances. Churches should confess their sins together and celebrate together God’s mercy and forgiveness towards us in Christ. Churches should lament together, saying a prayer in pain that leads to trust and worship of God. Churches should petition the Lord to meet their needs, especially spiritual needs. Churches should praise God for who He is specifically, focusing on His character, not just what He has done for us. In committing themselves to prayer, churches cultivate and demonstrate unity in God.
