Relationship with God in Your Prayer Group
Part 4 of a 5 Piece Series on Prayer Groups
After learning what God's love is and how forgiveness changes our lives, the next step is to think about your relationship to God and His salvation.
PLAN FOR YOUR GROUP
You may find it helpful, during prayer time together and at home, to:
Read a Bible verse.
Be still and listen to God.
After the silence, share with the group what you received from God.
Some people like to write God's messages in a journal.
It is also a help to be obedient to our Lord and come to him for rest in complete silence. Matthew 4:18
Psalm 46.10
TEACHINGS ON FORGIVENESS
Here are a few scripture verses that remind us of what God intends for us and what the gift of salvation brings into our lives. You will receive a blessing in taking one scripture and one word, phrase or statement from that scripture for each prayer group meeting.
You are created in God's image. Gen. 1:27
You are children of God. Romans 8:16
You are a new creation. II Corinthians 5:17
You are God's friend; reconciled to Him
through our Lord Jesus Christ. Romans 5:10-11
PROMISES OF SALVATION
You are chosen for salvation II Thessalonians 2:13
We belong to him alone and we are eager to do good. Titus 2:11, 14
Through our salvation by Jesus Christ,
we have eternal life. John 3:16
We are a redeemed people. Luke 1:68
PRAYER GROUP HELPS
From the Bible scriptures it is helpful to take a part of it that we believe could help us in our spiritual life and make the word, phrase or statement something to repeat to ourselves as we keep in the presence of God. When things of the world come to mind, repeating the word, phrase or statement brings us back to God's presence. Please remember that these are only suggestions and ideas, not rules.
