Small Group Discussion Questions:

1. Looking at the three emphases for prayer in this passage, which of these is the one you
   need to grow the most in? What’s keeping you from growing here, and what steps can you
   take?
   

   
   

2. Think about your circle of influence – your friends, neighbors, coworkers, etc. What
   opportunities are there for you to share the Gospel? How can you make the most of these?
   

   
   

3. In what relationships or conversations do you find yourself most likely to speak
   graciously? What about least likely? How does God’s provision for you in Christ motivate
   gracious speech?
   

   
   

4. What are the specific kinds of service God has called you to? What opportunities has He
   put before you? How can you press on in these ministries?
