Prayer is an essential part of the Christian life, but something that seems to fluctuate in a lot of Christian’s lives. Prayer can be frustrating when we feel like God isn’t even there and other times just feels ritualistic. How can we possibly develop a prayer life that aligns with the likes of David and Daniel in Scripture?

In today’s episode, Pastor Jackie and Pastor Derek talk through how to develop a powerful prayer life. We walk through some practical steps to orienting our prayers in a way consistent throughout Scripture as well as some resources to help when prayer doesn’t come so easy. The Bible tells us to pray without ceasing and although that goal may be unattainable, God wants to be a part of our lives and we hope that this episode can kickstart your prayer life to be powerful and personal!
