THE IMPORTANCE OF PRAYER
Most of us know prayer is important, yet we find ourselves struggling to make it a priority in our everyday lives. In prayer, we are invited to experience fellowship with God as we draw near to Him, acknowledging our great need for His presence and power in our lives. Yet even with this knowledge, many of us still struggle to take advantage of this vital opportunity. God never intended for us to live this way.
The Importance of Prayer is a six-week Bible study on the how, why, what, when, and who of prayer. This Bible study journal includes selected Scripture passages about prayer and it’s power in our lives. Daily readings explore the necessity of prayer in our lives and what it means to boldly approach the throne of grace. Perfect for personal or small group study, The Importance of Prayer Bible study journal includes daily Scripture passages, SOAP pages, daily devotions, challenges, reflection questions, and encouragement from women around the world.

Why Does God Hear Our Prayers?

The Power of Prayer
“Thanks for calling customer service. Press 1 for billing, press 2 for … yada yada yada.” Some of my worst moments are when I lose my temper (ridiculous, I know) with the automated customer service robot and yell that “I just need to talk to someone real!” It can be...
