Study 1: Heart Obstacles to Prayer
Head
Heart
- Nate listed a number of obstacles to prayer: sin, suffering, doubt, guilt and shame. Which of these keep you from prayer. Why? 
- Look back at James 4:1-3. As you look at some of your prayers over the past month, how often have you asked for (often good) things, but with wrong motives? 
Hands
- Pray for God to help you deal with those obstacles to prayer in the confines of his grace and love. 
- Pray for God to show you where your motives are wrong and ask him to help you seek him and his will more than your desires.
