The One Thing

Prayer invites God's action

Know

K1 When have you felt utterly powerless? (If there is a trauma associated with this memory, feel free to move on to the next question).

G1 Dan said that prayer is synergy (working together): what do you think he meant by that?

G2 Which is more true: "we are powerless therefore we pray" or "we aren't powerless because we can pray"?

G3 In 1 Kings, the people went from saying nothing to falling facedown on the ground saying "The LORD, He is God". What part did Elijah play, and what part did God play in this transformation?

G4 Dan said "Prayer opens the door to God's power". Why don't we open this door more often?

G5 In Daniel 10:12-14, 20-21 we see a glimpse as to what happens in the spiritual realms when God’s people pray. What do you make of all the details in this account? If you were to make a movie of this account, what would it look like?

G6 Why do you think God included this Daniel 10:12-14, 20-21 in the Bible? How does it change your attitude to prayer?

S1 Think of a situation, either “in here” (personal or in your social circle) or “out there” (geopolitical, global or a justice issue) in which you feel powerless. Read through either the 1 Kings 18 passage or the Daniel 10 passage and start to invite God’s action into that situation, through prayer.
