What is God’s design for prayer? Prayer is one of the most recognized expressions of faith, yet it can feel elusive and challenging. Have you ever felt like you’re just talking to yourself, wondering if you’re praying the “right” way, or questioning if prayer even matters? You’re not alone.In this message, we explore the truth that prayer is God’s idea, not ours—it’s His invitation, not our intrusion. From Abraham to Jesus to the early church, prayer has always been at the core of a relationship with God. Through this teaching, you’ll discover how prayer moves beyond just asking for favors and becomes a lifestyle of deep connection with God.Key takeaways from today’s message:
1. Prayer is PARTICIPANT, not spectator. Taste and see that the Lord is good—experience God for yourself, not just watch from the sidelines.
2. Prayer is DESPERATE, not duty. We pray not just when we need a rescue but for wisdom, favor, and a deeper relationship with God.
3. Prayer is RELATIONSHIP, not religion. God invites us to know Him as our loving Father who provides, protects, and guides us. No matter where you are in your faith journey, prayer is an invitation to draw closer to God and experience His power in your life.
