YTH Night (March 11) - Powerful Prayers

Words can build up or tear down. This week at YTH Night, we talked about how prayer shapes what comes out of us. But when we slow down and talk to God first, He guides what we say next.

James reminds us that our words reveal what’s happening in our hearts. Prayer helps align our hearts with God before we respond.

Read Together: James 1:22; 3:1-12; 5:13-18

Talk It Over:

• What usually influences your words the most — feelings or prayer? Why?

• How could praying first change a tough conversation?

Pray: God, teach us to pray first before we speak. Let our words bring life, not regret. In Jesus’ name, amen.
