Honest Prayers: Bringing Our Emotions To God

4 Weeks

Big Idea of the Series

This four-week series is designed to help your church explore some of the Bible’s most honest prayers. These prayers show that God wants us to be transparent when we come to him. Whether we are sad, angry, confused, joyful, or ashamed, God wants to hear our prayers. God wants to talk with us right where we are, and he is big enough for our honest prayers. As we grow in honesty with God, we should also grow in willingness to submit to his will, no matter what.

Using This Series Guide

What is the Series Guide?

The Series Guide is a comprehensive resource designed to help you lead your congregation through this sermon series. It includes weekly sermon outlines, discussion questions, and key theological insights to support your teaching preparation.

Each guide has been thoughtfully crafted to provide you with both depth and flexibility as you prepare your messages.

This series includes 4 weeks of content.

What is the Series Guide Not?

The Series Guide is not a word-for-word sermon script. It's not meant to replace your own study and preparation, but rather to complement it with additional resources and structure.

It also doesn't include all media assets - those are available in the downloads section.

How Do I Use this Series Guide?

We recommend starting with the series overview to understand the big picture themes. Then, for each week, review the scripture passages, main points, and illustrations provided.

Use the discussion questions for small groups or to spark your own thinking. Feel free to adapt any content to fit your congregation's specific needs and context.
