The focus of our upcoming sermon is around the question “What Are You Praying For?” and based on Philippians 4:1-7 (CEB). We will reflect deeply on the nature of our prayers and how they connect us to God’s peace and his greater purpose for our lives. In the text, the Apostle Paul encourages us not to be anxious but to present our requests to God through prayer and thanksgiving. This passage reminds us that prayer isn’t just about asking for things; it’s about aligning our hearts with God’s will and experiencing his peace. As a supporting text, we will read Romans 8:18-28 (CEB), which further explores this idea, assuring us that God works for the good of those who love him, even during our struggles and uncertainties.

As we prepare for this week, let’s think on these questions:



1. How does prayer help us in times of anxiety or uncertainty?
2. Considering Romans 8:18-28, how can we become more attuned to God’s purpose in our lives through our prayer life?
3. What role does faith play in our prayer life, and how can we strengthen it? Reflect on the connection between faith and prayer and consider ways we can grow in faith to enhance our prayer experience.

I look forward to this week with you as we reflect on how prayer, rooted in faith, can align us with God’s peace and his greater purpose for our lives.

Blessings,

Pastor Dedric
