Prayer

Our conversations with God can be one of the most difficult areas for many Christians, including me.  The last few years I have researched and tried different practices for myself to enhance my prayer life.

“We cannot live only on strong moments of prayer or occasional intense encounters…We need the daily water of prayer, we need time dedicated to God, so that he can enter into our time, into our lives” 

Francis Chan

Francis Chan is one of my favorite preachers, I get so much out of his sermons, his podcasts and his books.

Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God
