Watch this week's teaching

Watch on YouTube

Prayer isn't our last line of defense — it's our first line of offense. The class closes where worry loses: with the peace of God that guards hearts and minds.

Talk it over

Getting started

  • Did you have any worries as a kid that seem silly now? What were they?

Think it through

  • Which part of the teaching stuck with you most, and why?
  • How often does worry show up for you? What do you usually do with it?
  • Did this week change how you think about prayer? How?

Go deeper

  • Tell about a time you decided to trust God instead of worrying. What prompted it? What came of it?
  • What are you worried about right now that's hard to hand over to God? Why do you think it's so hard?

This week

Set aside twelve minutes of focused prayer each day. At the end of the week, look back and notice what it did to your thought life.
