Description
Want More for Your Prayer Life!
Few areas of the Christian life inspire more resolutions--or create more guilt--than prayer. Most of us share the longing expressed by Jesus' disciples, "Lord, teach us to pray." Like them, we see a depth and reality in Jesus' relationship with the Father that makes us restless for something more.
The wonderful news is that Scripture is filled with guidance for talking with God. As we study and apply its teaching, our own prayer life will become intimate and fruitful, daily growing more like the prayers of Jesus.
