What Do We Pray for and About?

What do we pray for and about?

I subscribe to a Group on Facebook called the Forming Intentional Disciples Forum. Today one of the forum administrators posted a study by Barna Group from 2017 about what people pray for and what they pray about.

Seeing the results got me to thinking about my prayer life. What do I pray about? And who are the people and situations that I pray for in my life? And how do I pray? From the same study it indicated 82% pray in silence.

What is the role of silence in your prayer? What do you pray for and what do you pray about? Prayer can be one of those topics where we use the word, prayer, but we do not always know what it is. One way of coming at the answer to that question is to consider the question, “What do we pray for and about?”

Answers to the question can reveal a lot about how we see prayer, and how we can deepen our prayer life.
