What does it really mean to pray and how should we approach God?

In this message from our AWAKEN series, Phil explores the mystery and gift of prayer: that we can speak to the God who spoke the world into being. While Scripture doesn’t give a formula for guaranteed results, it does invite us into a growing, living relationship with God.

Looking at Luke 11 and Jesus’ teaching on prayer, we’re reminded that prayer begins with recognising our need and approaching God with boldness, persistence, and even shameless audacity.

Through examples like Abraham’s conversation with God and the faith of the Canaanite woman, this message shows that God welcomes honest, courageous prayer that is rooted in confidence in His mercy and goodness.

This is a call for us as individuals and as a church to wake up, stay alert, and become people who pray with faith, expectancy, and confidence that God is able to move.
