Bible Study: Matthew 6:6-13

Discovering Our Deeper Desires

What does it mean to ask God for what we need each day? This part of the Lord's Prayer not only reminds us to depend on God, it shifts and shape our desires towards what we truly want.

DISCUSSION QUESTIONS

Discuss the tension between: ‘This then is how you should pray’ and ‘Our Father’

What do you think Jesus’ aim is for us in getting us to pray: ‘Give us today our daily bread.’?

Where do you become self confident and so forget to ask for ‘bread’?

What has become for you ‘bread’ that isn’t really bread?

In what ways has Jesus pushed you outwards in your asking for others that although seemed uncomfortable was actually satisfying?

How do you show up to pray in the ‘today’?
