Prayer/reflection

This week we are taking a break from our study to apply together what we have learnt so far. We will be discussing and then praying through 1 Samuel 1:-2:11 and Psalm 139 for one another, those we know, church and our world. Meeting at Karan True’s house, 9.45 for 10am start.

Do you have trouble thinking of words to say to God when you pray?

Are you afraid some emotions are too intense to express to God? Do you reach the end of a day only to realise you haven’t prayed at all? You’re not alone. Prayer is the way we relate to God, but sometimes it’s a struggle. Throughout God’s Word, we encounter many voices who teach us how to pray.

Spread out over this next term in Women’s Group we are using the resource ‘When You Pray’

In this 7-session study, join with six beloved Bible teachers who will help you study prayers in the Bible that can inspire your own. You’ll learn that God welcomes your praise and lament, your thanksgiving and intercession. You’ll see examples of how to pray when you’re alone and when you’re gathered with others. Above all, you’ll notice there’s no one right way to pray. As you draw near to God through prayer, you’ll find your faith strengthened and your heart united to Christ.

If this excites you and you want to grow in your prayer life you are so welcome to come along!

We meet on a Tuesday morning  at various members houses from 9.45 for a 10am start. We will be using a study guide which has passages to work through at home then we will get together, discuss what we’ve learnt and hear a teaching video to equip us. Interspersed we will have sessions of prayer and discussion, and an optional day retreat to help us put into practice and enjoy what we’ve learnt with other women from church.

If you can’t make a Tuesday morning but would be keen to join in- please do let me know- there may be options to meet one-to-one or in a small group at other time or over a longer period of time as you can make.

If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to contact me, Jo True at jo.true@avenue.org.uk

Look forward to seeing you then!
