Ephesians 6:18-20

Ephesians 6:18-20 emphasizes the foundational role of prayer in our spiritual battle. How do you personally incorporate prayer into your daily life, and how does it help you feel more equipped with the armor of God?

The sermon highlights the importance of intercessory prayer. Can you share an experience where praying for someone else, or knowing others were praying for you, made a significant impact on your faith journey?

The use of scriptural prayers was encouraged when we don’t know how to pray for others. If you have, how has praying scripture influenced your prayer life, and which passages do you find most powerful to pray?

The sermon suggests that struggling to pray for others might indicate a gospel problem in our lives. How do you remind yourself of the gospel and its power when your prayer life feels stagnant or challenging?

Paul asked for prayers to boldly proclaim the gospel despite his chains. In what ways can we, as a community, support each other in praying for boldness and clarity in sharing the gospel in our various circumstances?

Reflecting on Paul's example, how can we balance praying for deliverance from difficult situations with praying for God to use us effectively during those times? Can you share a time when you were experiencing a challenging season in your life, but God used you in the midst of that season for his glory, your good, and the good of others?

The sermon emphasizes the importance of praying for our church leaders, given the spiritual attacks they face. How can we make it a regular practice to pray for our preachers and teachers, and in what specific ways can we support them through prayer?
