Compassion & Prayer: Study Guide

Matthew 6:1-18

Happy Tuesday to you & yours. I hope your week is going great and that this message finds you well.

This is the study guide based on my recent article, “Compassion & Prayer,” from the "Summer on the Mount" series. This article is based on Matthew 6:1-18. If you haven’t read the article yet, now is a good time. If you have read it but want to refresh your memory, here is the link. I also recommend you have a Bible, paper, and pen with you as you work through this study guide. Take notes and reflect as God leads you.

As we reflect on God’s Word, let's examine our hearts and motivations in our acts of service and prayer. Are we seeking God's approval or that of others? Are our actions rooted in gratitude for God's grace or in an attempt to earn favor? May we be inspired to cultivate a faith that is genuine, humble, and centered on God's eternal purpose rather than our temporary glory.
