If you have questions that you’ve struggled with or want answers to about prayer, email

me at jacob@theviewchurch.com or drop me a note

as you leave.

We often don’t see the immediate value or

immediate results of prayer, so we choose

not to pray.

We want easy answers and quick results.

Because prayer doesn’t

offer these, we move along without it.

By bypassing prayer we are passing up the most powerful aspect of how we relate with

God.

Prayer is communication. Just as communication is the basic, fundamental

element of our relationships with other

people, prayer is the basic, fundamental element of how we

relate with God.

“Pray without ceasing…”1 Thessalonians 5:17“Pray at all times…”

Ephesians 6:18“Continue steadfastly in

prayer…”Colossians 4:2

If Jesus needed to pray…we certainly have the need to pray.

Start this week setting aside a specific time to spend even just a few

minutes in prayer.

God loves you…and just as earthly parents want their

kids to talk to them, God wants us to talk

with Him.

“...my eyes will be open and my ears

attentive.”2 Chronicles 7:15

“This is what the Lord says, He who made the

earth, the Lord who formed it and established it

– the Lord is His name: ‘Call to me and I will

answer you and tell you great and unsearchable things you do not know.”

Jeremiah Chapter 33

October is a month where, together, I’m

calling on you to pray.

Talk to God about where you are…what’s on your heart…what’s going on in your

life…and where you need help.
