This Sunday: How to Pray

Oswald Chambers wrote:

The job of every Christian is to pray. Plain and simple. Yet we want to do more than simply pray. We want to do something important for God; we want to be someone important to Him. We want to build; we want to mobilize; we want to show our strength and exert our influence. Prayer seems like such a small thing to do - next to nothing at all in fact.

But that's not what Jesus said. To Him prayer is everything; it's a duty as well as a privilege, a right as well as a responsibility. We use prayer as a last resort; Jesus wants it to be our first line of defense. We pray when there's nothing else we can do; Jesus wants us to pray before we do anything at all...

Prayer is our business, our only business. Prayer is our holy occupation. Plain and simple.

This Sunday at 10:30 a.m. we'll be asking (and answering) the question, "How are we supposed to pray?"
