Prayer Isn't Optional: I Get to Pray & I Have to Pray to God | Part 7 | Blueprint of Becoming Series


Listen Later

In this seventh installment of The Blueprint of Becoming, we’re talking about prayer—not as a performance or formality, but as personal communication with God. Why is prayer important? Why does it matter to talk to the One who created you? Why should the created speak with the creator? And how do we actually pray with power and effectiveness?

We’ll explore:

  • Why Jesus calls us His friends (John 15:14-15)
  • The importance of daily dependence on the Bread of Life (John 6:35)
  • What makes prayer effective: faith, obedience, humility, confession, fasting, and more
  • Ephesians 1:17—through 3 different Bible translations
  • This is a soul check. Are you prioritizing prayer or treating it like a backup plan?

    Reflection Question/Journal Prompt: How well do you wait on God? Are you approaching prayer as something you "have" to do or something you "get" to do?
