Let's Pray “Pray continually,” Jesus says. “Yeah right,” we confess! We want to talk to God more, and we think we should. But in reality, when it comes to our prayer life, we just feel guilty. Don’t be paralyzed by your guilt and spend another season missing out on life changing conversation with God. Prayer is relationship. Prayer is power. Prayer overcomes guilt. Prayer brings comfort, joy, boldness and peace. In this six-week series, we’ll get talking and listening to God our Father together. Let’s pray.
