Three Qualities of our Prayers...
a. Persistence.
b. Vigilance.

Digging Deeper:

1. What’s one thing you’ve prayed for that God answered in a way that surprised you (big or small)?

2. What do you think it looks like to be persistent, vigilant, and thankful in prayer—especially when life is going smoothly?

3. The sermon mentioned how we often overlook the blessings right in front of us. What’s something in your life that you’ve recently realized you take for granted?

4. Paul asked the church to pray for an “open door” to share the gospel. What would it look like for you to start praying that same prayer? Who comes to mind when you hear that?

5. Read Colossians 4:5–6: What does it mean to “walk wisely toward outsiders”? Why do you think Paul pairs wisdom with gracious, salty speech?

6. What’s your “Jesus story”? How has God changed your life—and are you ready to share that story if someone asked you this week?

7. Who’s one person you can start praying for every day this week, asking God for an open door to share hope with them?
