Praying with Purpose: A 28-Day Journey to an Empowered Prayer LifeMany Christians crave something more from their prayer time. We pray knowing that God hears and answers our prayers, but we also know that prayer should be something more than recited phrases and personal wish lists. God wants prayer to become vital to everything we do. Using Scripture passages, applications, and a prayer guide, "Praying with Purpose" is a five-week study designed to teach believers how to pray without ceasing. Perfect for church use, small groups, or individual study. |
