- What kinds of prayer would not be pleasing to God and why?
- When Jesus said "whatever you ask in my name you will receive," what did He mean? Any exceptions?

The Foundation of Biblical Prayer
- Why do we need to ask God for anything since most of what we need is provided by Him without our asking?
- How effective is our morning prayer (1) to keep us from harm and danger, (2) to help us be kind and loving to others, (3) to protect our children, (4) to bless and guide our church administrators, (5) to restore a sick loved one to health, etc.
- How can we ask for something for ourselves without being selfish?
- When we pray "nevertheless, Thy will be done," does it suggest lack of faith?
- Why don't we today approach a cripple and say "In the name of Jesus, take up your bed and walk . . . ?"
- Do children have more faith than adults?
- What does it mean to claim God's promise? How can we do that?
- Why do we need to claim God's promise? Is it like a child reminding a parent of a promise?
- Is prayer always on bended knee, closed eyes, and folded hands?
Praying for the Holy Spirit
- Do we need to pray for the Holy Spirit or will He come when we are ready?
- What are the indications that we might be unprepared to receive the Holy Spirit?
- What is the difference in requirements for receiving the Spirit as an individual and as a church?
