When you gather together for bible study, it’s important to close with prayer. This gives everyone a chance to say goodbye and ask for God’s blessing on the group. It also allows everyone to reflect on the discussion and what they learned.
Ending with prayer can also be a way to connect with God and feel His presence.
During prayer, you can thank Him for the opportunity to study His Word and ask for guidance as you continue on your spiritual journey.
If you’re leading the group, you can pray for each member by name. You can also ask God to bless the meeting place and everyone who attended.
Prayer is a powerful way to connect with God, so don’t hesitate to use it at the end of your bible study.
