  • Prayer: Week 2: Formational Prayer

    Psalm 139:23-24 NIV

    Psalm 139:14 NIV

     

    Quote by Nathan Foster: “Distraction is the curse of our age."

     

    Quote by Richard Foster, Prayer: We need a deeper musing upon our knack for disobedience and God’s unbounded habit of forgiving.  We all need a richer contemplation upon that life, which shows us the way so we may follow ‘in His steps’.  We all need a fuller meditation upon that death, which sets us free.  We all need a more profound experience of that resurrection, which empowers us to obey Christ in all things.
