2.She calls the reader to become a "prayer warrior" for her household — praying specifically over each person's struggles, tendencies, and vulnerabilities rather than offering blanket prayers. What would a more specific prayer life for your family actually look like day to day?
3.Priscilla acknowledges that some readers come from broken, painful, or complicated family situations. How does she address that, and how did her acknowledgment affect how you read this chapter?
a.If your family situation is painful, what does it look like to pray *fervently* without denying the hurt?
b.What promise from God's Word can you stand on for your family right now?
