What pastors are saying

“Because when you turn to the Father through the Lord Jesus Christ, He will not put you to shame, but will answer your prayer.”
“You are no better than your prayer life. You will rise no higher with God than you rise in your prayer life.”
“I do not believe convicting, shaming, or guilting you about prayerlessness will ultimately lead you to more prayer. We need more prayer.”
“Let's get back to being a people of prayer. Let's get back to this meeting house being called a house of prayer.”
“Prayer catapults us onto the frontier of the spiritual life. Of all the spiritual disciplines, prayer is the most central because it ushers us into perpetual communion with the Father.”
