Prayer changes everything! Yet so many things get in the way of connecting with our powerful and loving Creator. In this three-day reading plan, Hakeem Collins reveals three keys to life-changing results that come through the art of prayer. Prayer works when we work our faith in prayer. Position yourself today to partner with God and activate mountain-moving faith that produces supernatural outcomes.
This 3-day plan shows how God worked in the lives of three leaders: Isaiah, Nehemiah, and Mary during seasons of transition. They were living in between where they were and where they were heading. Instead of waiting idly, impatiently, or impulsively, they took wise, practical steps. Each day of this plan provides a way to anchor yourself in scripture and experience God’s presence to find meaningful work during your transitional seasons.
