Each week during our prayer series, we distributed a handout that contained an image of Dick Eastman’s prayer wheel and a short description of the two forms of prayer that we were covering that week. This final handout has the entire prayer wheel with abbreviated notes for each of the twelve forms of prayer.

As a final note, this prayer wheel represents just one person’s attempt to create a survey of the range of prayer in the Bible. It’s intended to be a helpful tool for training in prayer but it’s nothing that’s set in stone. Prayer is, or should be, something that’s dynamic and organic, something that grows and changes along with your relationship with God in Christ.

In our once-a-month Kid Connection service, we focus on the biblical virtue for that month. In this focus on friendship, we see how Jesus was a true friend to Thomas. Jesus was compassionate with Thomas’ struggles and doubts and like a true friend, he showed Thomas what he needed to strengthen his faith.

Sometimes impatience has a high cost. We see this in how Esau traded his birthright for a bowl of stew. But he wasn’t the only one who was impatient. Jacob knew what God had promised and instead of waiting for God, he took advantage of Esau. The bad blood between them would continue for generations until one day, a child of Esau (Herod the Great) would try to wipe out the promised king of Jacob (Jesus).

(05/17/09) Like Jonah, we all disobey God at times. But through Jonah we learn that God is a God who is willing to give everyone a second chance. As Jonah discovers, “You are a gracious and compassionate God, slow to anger and abounding in love.” Even so, it’s always better to do what God says the first time.
