Class 7 in our BOLD Course on Christian Discipling & Biblical Counseling. Adapted from Capitol Hill Baptist Church's Core Seminar on Christian Discipling: https://CapitolHillBaptist.org/sermon/class-7-encouraging-biblical-prayer/ Description from SermonAudio: The lesson emphasizes that prayer is foundational to Christian discipleship, essential for spiritual growth, sanctification, and deepening fellowship with God, as exemplified by Jesus' own consistent prayer life. It calls believers to model prayer, instruct others in biblical prayer practices, and cultivate regular, intentional habits by planning time, avoiding distractions, and using tools like Scripture, journaling, and accountability partnerships. The message underscores that effective prayer aligns with God's will, not personal desires, and requires humility, proper motives, and reliance on the Holy Spirit — especially in times of spiritual dryness or when answers are delayed. Ultimately, God responds to prayer with a 'yes,' 'no,' or 'wait'. Because each reflects His sovereign wisdom and faithfulness, believers are called to trust His timing, glorify Him in every response, and remain steadfast in faith.
