It Makes a Difference

In Week 4 of our Pray Bold series, Pastor John helps us understand how prayer truly makes a difference in our everyday lives. Isaiah 40 teaches us that God gives strength to the weak, renews the weary, and lifts us above the things that weigh us down.

Prayer does not always change our situation immediately, but it changes us. It anchors our focus, renews our hope, and brings us back to the God who knows our needs and gives us strength.

Use the questions below to reflect on the message or guide your small group discussion.

Discussion Questions
1) Where do you feel most worn out or weary right now, and how might prayer renew your strength?
2) What does it mean for God to help you “soar” in your circumstances?
3) How has God strengthened you in the past when you have prayed?
4) What is one area of your life where you need to seek God first this week?
5) How can prayer help shift your perspective when life feels heavy or overwhelming?
