WOMEN

As we begin the journey of developing our Women’s Ministry at Buck Prairie, we believe it has the mission of equipping women with the truth of the Scriptures to become more Christ-like. We invite you to connect with other women through our Bible Study, WMU, and other ministries. We have many opportunities for fellowship and spiritual growth.

One of the ministries to consider is a Bible Study titled When You Pray, 6 biblical prayers in the Bible. As Women, we can be very emotional beings and they can be intense but when it comes to prayer, sometimes we don’t know what to say or how to say and sometimes we may feel like we say the wrong thing or we may realize that at the end of the day, we haven’t prayed at all.

Prayer is one of the most important responsibilities we have as Christians to relate to God. It deepens our walk with him when we are in conversation with Him. We hope that you embrace each lesson you learn and share it boldly with your community and the world.

In this 7-week study, six prominent Bible teachers will explore six different prayers from the Bible. We will learn that God welcomes everyone, no matter where we are in our spiritual journey. He listens to our praises, our thanksgiving, and even our laments! We will see examples of prayers offered when alone and when gathered with others. As you learn, you’ll note that there is no right or wrong way to pray. By listening and drawing near to God, your faith will be strengthened, and your heart will be united with Him.

Video Sessions:

Session Seven: “May They Be One” with Kristi McLelland (35:35) —The final example of prayer in this study is Jesus’s prayer for oneness, or unity, among His disciples, from the Gospel of John. Kristi McLelland examines the historical and cultural context of this time in Jesus’s ministry to help us understand the power of His prayer for oneness in the lives of His disciples then and in our lives as His disciples today.
Session One: Introduction (22:01) —What is the purpose of prayer? Why, and better yet how, do I pray? How can God’s Word shape the words we say back to Him? Listen in as our team of Bible teachers give their thoughts on these common questions, share their personal prayer experiences and struggles, and encourage you to join God in the never-ending conversation He longs to have with you.
Session Two: “Your Kingdom Come” with Kelly Minter (36:02) —In this teaching video, Kelly Minter uses the backdrop of the Lord’s Prayer in Matthew 6 and more of Jesus’s teaching in the Sermon on the Mount to remind us about the character of God the Father, the One we talk to when we pray. From Jesus’s own words, we learn that God is personal, powerful, responsive, and altogether good.
Session Three: “My Heart Rejoices in the Lord” with Jackie Hill Perry (36:57) —Petition, or presenting our requests to God, is one of the most popular types of prayers. Through her verse-by-verse study of Hannah’s prayers in 1 Samuel 1 and 2, Jackie Hill Perry helps us understand that God desires to hear our requests, and thanks to Jesus, we are able to bring them before Him.
Session Four: “Your Works Are Wondrous” with Jen Wilkin (43:23) —Another type of prayer we see modeled frequently in the Bible is adoration, or praise. A great example of this is David’s prayer in Psalm 139. Jen Wilkin’s verse-by-verse teaching through this psalm highlights the attributes, or character traits, of God that David included in his psalm of praise. David’s words serve as a great example for us of how we, too, can praise God through prayer.
Session Five: “How Long, O Lord?” with Jennifer Rothschild (37:57) –We often want to avoid prayers of grief or lament because we may think God doesn’t have time for our tears, or perhaps our needs are too tiny, or maybe we are afraid to feel what we can’t fix so we stuff. Using the words of Psalm 13 as her guide, Jennifer Rothschild teaches that lament is a safe place for you to feel your feelings, and it is a sacred place where God reveals who He is.
Session Six: “May You Be Filled” with Jada Edwards (35:41) —In this teaching session, Jada Edwards examines one of Paul’s many prayers as an example of intercession or praying for the needs of others. Prayer is not only about praying on our behalf. When we pray for others, we partner with God to bring His plans to pass in the lives of others.
