Sunday Night Discipleship: Prayer & Humility {0}
The first Sunday of every month at discipleship we share what’s going on in our lives as we share prayer request with each. Afterwards we take these request to God on behalf of each other. Everyone shares, everyone prays. The more you take part in this the more comfortable students become both sharing and praying.
One aspect of the evening is to look at a text of Scripture to see what God’s Word has to say about prayer, tonight we looked at 2 Chronicles 7:14, “If my people who are called by my name humble themselves, and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven and will forgive their sin and heal their land.”
This verses has a specific context in the history of Israel that we could dig into, however tonight we discussed the connection between humility & prayer that is clearly made in this text. It’s a difficult thing for people to acknowledge that we cannot do something, that we need help, that we need God. Not just once it’s beyond our control, but when we realize that it’s all beyond our control. It’s an even more difficult thing for us to share a list of things we cannot do, or things we do, but should not do in the presence of others.
The reason this is difficult is simple, pride. Pride leads us to silent. Pride leads us to do to much on our own. It keeps us from prayer ourselves and it keeps us from asking others to pray for us. Too often we care more about what others think of us than we care about having others pray for us. My hope and prayer is that pride in our hearts would die and prayer would sprout up in ever more substancial ways.
Anyway it was nice to humble ourselves and ask one another to pray.
We used the last 15 minutes of the evening to play a funny game of Curses. My favorite moment was when Rico did a “news interview” of Rico (who because of the game had to talk like a pirate”). The Interviewer asked, “How’s skinning that aligator going?” The pirate paused then said, “hmmm. First he bit off me hand. Pause. Then it was all down hill from there.”
