Just some notes from worship Sunday …
Prayer – Swimming in the Deep Riches of Fellowship with God
We need a paradigm shift from just voicing requests to deepening our awe of and our relationship with the almighty Lord.
Why we Pray …
1. Jesus professed it
– Matt 21.13, Luke 19.46
2. Apostles believed it
– Acts 6.1&4
3. Early church practiced it
4. History shows it
– Great Awakenings, Brooklyn Tabernacle, Welsh Revival, etc

WHAT DOES THIS MEAN TO ME?
Spend time learning to pray, Matt 6
– Do It (when you pray, not if) … Alone and with others
– Pray with familiarity (our Father)

– Pray with authority
– Pray with openness (His Kingdom come)
– Pray with consistency (daily)
– Pray with transparency (forgiveness)
Key Tweet of the Week …
Stop ‘praying’ it safe
Maybe we don’t see great works of God because we pray too mild of prayers.
– Be bold & Be daring
