PRAYER
Experiencing God’s Presence in prayer brings us hope, strength, and purpose. It does so primarily by connecting us to Jesus. He leads us in the Person of His Spirit as we deal with the challenges posed by life’s mundane, everydayness — balancing work and home, managing anxiety, dealing with finances, nurturing healthy relationships, or building a strong spiritual foundation. Each week in this series will offer hope through relatable stories, practical applications, and a declaration of prayer’s life-changing power.
"Prayer is a communication from the heart overflowing into words."
