Prayer Tip #2: Overcome Guilt Through the Gospel
Thanks for exploring the free mini-course called Building a Life of Prayer: Truths and Tools for Your Encouragement. We pray it will lead you to know God more and have greater joy in praying to Him!
Session #2: Overcome Guilt through the Gospel
Scripture:
For we do not have a high priest who is unable to sympathize with our weaknesses, but one who in every respect has been tempted as we are, yet without sin. Let us then with confidence draw near to the throne of grace, that we may receive mercy and find grace to help in time of need. (Hebrews 4:15–16)
Questions:
—Have feelings of guilt impeded your prayer life before? If so, how?
—How does thinking of God as your heavenly Father, instead of as a harsh taskmaster, change your attitude toward prayer?
—When guilt impedes our prayer lives, it’s often because we trust our feelings more than the Word of God. How can you grow in the area of letting the Word of God shape your feelings of guilt?
