Valley Church

Big Faith Starts in a Quiet Place
Ever feel like you’re just going through the motions when praying? You know prayer is important, but it can easily become routine or even a performance. In today’s message, we’re diving into what Jesus really meant when He talked about prayer and fasting. It’s not about being seen or saying the perfect words, it’s about being present with God. If you want to discover how you can connect with God in a deeper, more meaningful way? Let’s make room for Him in our lives, starting in the quiet places.

Prayer isn’t a PERFORMANCE.
Prayer isn’t about REPETITION—it’s about RELATIONSHIP.
