Discussion Questions

3.The Kendricks encourage readers to create a dedicated prayer list — organized by categories such as family, church, workplace, government, and the lost. Do you currently pray with this kind of specificity? What is lost when prayers remain vague rather than specific?
a.Try drafting your own prayer list right now with at least three categories. What names and needs belong in each?
