Intimacy - Part 3

Questions for Reflection

Read Matthew 6:5-18

1. What does Jesus mean when he prays, “(Let) your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven…”? What is God’s will?
2. In what ways does your will live in tension with God’s will these days? How can we know God’s will more fully this week? How can we obey God’s will more fully this week?
3. Read Matthew 26:36-46. What is Jesus feeling in this story, and how can you relate to him? How is His prayer in verse 39 a model for us in this season? In what ways does your prayer life need to shift in order to be more aligned with this posture in prayer?
4. Jesus petitions God in verse 13, “And lead us not into temptation…” In what ways have you struggled with the temptations of Control, Fear, and Blame in this new season?
5. What are some new practices that could help you to run toward God (away from temptation) and become more aligned with His will this week?
