Welcome to Woody! 🙏

What would it look like if we truly lived with open hands toward God?In this message, Annabel explores the fourth part of Woody’s vision: Open Hands — a church marked by a deep devotion to prayer and a hunger to see the Holy Spirit at work among us. Rooted in 1 Thessalonians 5:17–19 and the example of the early church in Acts 2, we’re reminded that prayer is not just a religious activity but a living conversation with the God who knows us, loves us, and invites us to partner with Him.

This message looks honestly at why prayer can sometimes feel difficult, what can hinder our communication with God, and why the enemy works so hard to distract us from it. Yet it also reminds us of the incredible privilege and power of prayer — a way we listen to God, bring our lives before Him, and stand together in spiritual battle.

From personal prayer to praying with others, we’re encouraged to grow in simple, authentic communication with God: keeping it simple, keeping it real, and keeping it up. As we pray together as a church family, we invite the Holy Spirit to move among us, shape us, and lead us into all that God has for us.

Whether you’ve prayed for years or feel unsure where to begin, this message is an invitation to rediscover the joy and power of prayer.

If this message speaks to you, or if you’d like someone to talk to or pray with, we’d love to hear from you.
