Praying When You Don’t Know What To Say

SUMMARY :
Prayer is simply talking with God, but sometimes it’s challenging to do. If we don’t know the purpose for our prayers, it’s easy for them to become our last resort or a check-box item before bed.
The purpose of prayer is not to get something from God, but to be with Him and become like Him.

Ever wondered if prayer actually works-or how to even do it? It seems like a good thing, but you don’t want to get it wrong. What if it’s simpler than you think? Our new series, How to Pray, starts this week.

KEY SCRIPTURE :
“This, then, is how you should pray: ‘Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your name, your kingdom come, your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven. Give us today our daily bread. And forgive us our debts, as we also have forgiven our debtors. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from the evil one.’”
Matthew 6:9-13 NIV

HIGHLIGHTS :
•When Christianity is cultural, the King becomes common, and your approach becomes casual.
•Prayer is talking with God.
•Prayer is submitting to a holy King.
God’s kingdom is greater than my needs or my desires.
•His plan is better than my brand.
•Our approach to prayer is kingdom-focused, seeking His will above our own.

God Will Heal Your Mind

SUMMARY :
Everybody experiences healing differently. Sometimes it happens in a fast, immediate, miraculous way. Often, it’s progressive and happens in stages. No matter where we are in our healing journeys, we will always need Jesus and His people.

Is your life just … meh? Nothing’s falling apart, but it’s not great either. You’re stuck in the middle, and it feels lonely. You don’t have to stay stuck. And you don’t have to heal alone. There’s hope in the middle of the journey. We’re talking about it at church this week.

KEY SCRIPTURE :
“They came to Bethsaida, and some people brought a blind man and begged Jesus to touch him. He took the blind man by the hand and led him outside the village. When he had spit on the man’s eyes and put his hands on him, Jesus asked, “Do you see anything?” He looked up and said, “I see people; they look like trees walking around.” Once more Jesus put his hands on the man’s eyes. Then his eyes were opened, his sight was restored, and he saw everything clearly.” Mark 8:22–25 NIV

HIGHLIGHTS :
•Never underestimate what God can do when you simply bring someone to Jesus.
•Partial healing is not failed healing; it’s healing in progress.
