 | Prayer :: Connecting to God June 29, 2008 - July 27, 2008 |
Have you ever stopped to consider what an incredible gift prayer truly is? Think about it: our opportunity to connect to God, the Creator of the universe, in conversation. Yet there are a variety of reasons that we may not experience this gift as regularly as we could or enjoy how meaningful it can be for our lives. We sometimes make prayer more puzzling than God intended it to be. Join us for this series as we look to Jesus’ teachings for some practical direction and encouragement for you as you seek God through prayer.

There is something amazing and beautiful that happens when God’s people pray. Worshipping God and entering into conversation with him moves us in ways that nothing else can. Experience this beauty as we gather to honor God and seek his face through prayer. | ||

Jesus’ closest friends, the disciples, requested, “Lord, teach us to pray.” That is a request we all can make as we seek to connect to God. How do we pray? Learn how Jesus responded to his friends then and how his response invites us to enjoy a meaningful prayer-life now. | ||

– It always seems easier to pray when things are going our way, but what happens when we pray and the difficulties don’t go away? What then? Although there are no nicely packaged answers, God’s Word does offer us encouragement in how we can respond during these times. | ||

There is a connection between our faith and the power of prayer. As we grow into a deeper faith, God has the opportunity to respond in more powerful ways. Sometimes our understanding of this faith-prayer connection gets distorted and can lead to confusion or discouragement. Learn what Jesus shared about this relationship between faith and prayer and the impact it can have on your life. | ||

Do you realize that prayer has the power to change anything and everything? No, that’s not an over exaggeration. Why? Because the power of prayer is the power of God. What’s more, this power of prayer is made available to everyone as a gift from God | ||
