Pray To Overflow

DAY 3 OF 4

Pour Your Heart Before God

Observations
1. What, in vv. 4–6, precipitated Moses to pray the way he did in vv. 11–14? Who were the “rabble” (Exodus 12:38) in the Israelite camp? What effect did their attitude, words and behavior have on the Israelites? How did the Israelites view the manna in v. 6 after they heard the cravings of the rabble?
2. List down as many reasons as you can why manna was a blessing to Israel.
3. What did God say He would do in vv. 18–20? What did the problem and prayer of Moses in vv. 21–22 indicate? How did God reply to Moses in v. 23?
4. Describe how in vv. 31–34 the thing that they craved so much for became a source of problem and misery for the Israelites.

Application
1. How would you describe the prayer of Moses in vv. 11–15? Why is it so much better to pour out your hurts and frustrations to God rather than air your complaints before men?
2. What things are you prone to crave for (e.g. better work, emigration, new car, gadget, relationship, children, worldly pleasures, etc.)? Have you been faithful in thanking God for your present “manna” (e.g. life, health, salvation, parents, food, clothing, shelter, etc.)? How will you live out the command in 1 Thessalonians 5:18?
3. Name some influences in your life that tend to become like a “rabble” to you causing discontentment in your life:
__ Neighbors __ Some friends __ Some movies & TV shows
__ Others: ________________

What concrete steps do you need to do to avoid them?

Prayer
• Confess any discontent in your own life and ask for God’s forgiveness.
• Thank the Lord for His blessings that you have taken for granted.
• Continue to pray for your needs. Be honest and pour out your heart to Him
• for needs, not wants.

About this Plan

Pray To Overflow

Exodus narrated the story of God liberating Israelites from their Egyptian slavery and Moses, a great man of faith. His deep relationship with God reflected in his prayers. He consulted God on every decision he made. He also prayed a lot for others. May this devotional material helps you have a prayerful life that will mirror an intimate relationship with God and that it overflows to intercede for others!
