Difficulties can be blessings in disguise when we choose to TRUST in Christ in prayer, even despite present pain. That is the only way we can receive comfort for our souls.

We take things for granted when we become forgetful to be grateful. That is why Paul strived to guard his gratitude of heart towards God's grace towards him and others. Our prayers will have a great affect when they are grounded in gratefulness towards God's grace.

A lot of attention is usually given on Holy Week to the crucifixion and the resurrection because Jesus remained dead in between those moments. There is nothing to learn from that space, right? Pause and listen to what the silence in between both events has to say to us today.

Many have expressed feelings of being far from God. But no one experienced it the way Jesus did so that all who believe in Him will never have to.

In Jesus' most vulnerable moment during His prayer in the Garden of Gethsemane, we are given a glimpse of something Christ had to face so that we would never have to.

On the night of Jesus' betrayal, the disciples learned an important lesson the hard way on the importance of prayer when it comes to responding to temptation.  We must learn from their experience so that we can discover true hope and freedom in Christ today.

In the final part of the greatest prayer ever prayed, Jesus exhibits a level of confidence that is meant to give us HOPE about tomorrow no matter what is happening today.

In part 2 of the greatest prayer ever prayed, Jesus, reveals what a Christian needs in order to fulfill God's purpose for their life.

John 17 contains the longest and most profound prayer of Jesus that was ever recorded.  This week, we examine it to see how Jesus' purpose speaks to our identity and purpose in life.

For many, prayer doesn't pay off because they don't understand that the true purpose of prayer can only be found when we persevere in it.  To do that, we must never forget WHO is the God we are praying to.  Consistency that is rooted in God's character is key!
