Filimon 1:6

When the word prayer comes to our minds, we probably have a picture of what that looks like. Regardless of your background, you probably have some prior experience with the concept of prayer. In this 7-day plan, we’ll dive deeper into what prayer looks like and how we can incorporate practices that will help us begin an ongoing conversation with God that will last our entire lives.

A great way to build your prayer life is to learn from the prayers of others. This plan lets us listen in on prayers from Bible heroes in different situations and for different purposes, and is designed to accompany the message series Pray by Craig Groeschel. (You can watch it online at life.church) Don't pray alone; study this content together with your small group.

Learn how best to pray, both from the prayers of the faithful and from the words of Jesus Himself. Find encouragement to keep taking your requests to God every day, with persistence and patience. Explore examples of empty, self righteous prayers, balanced against the pure prayers of those with clean hearts. Pray constantly.
