Heart

1. Nate listed a number of obstacles to prayer: sin, suffering, doubt, guilt and shame. Which of these keep you from prayer. Why? 

2. Look back at James 4:1-3. As you look at some of your prayers over the past month, how often have you asked for (often good) things, but with wrong motives? 

Hands

1. Pray for God to help you deal with those obstacles to prayer in the confines of his grace and love.

2. Pray for God to show you where your motives are wrong and ask him to help you seek him and his will more than your desires.
