Video: "How Should We Then Pray?"
Have you been there?
As I mentioned last week, prayer is probably the most misunderstood and frustrating of all the disciplines; yet so vital in pursuing the Christ-life and to become more godly.
Remember, we are training ourselves for godliness, and, just as you have frustrations and setbacks when it comes to being physically fit, you'll experience those when it comes to getting, and staying, spiritually fit.
My prayer is that you will experience less of what you just saw on that video, and more of knowing how prayer works and what's involved.

A couple of books I would recommend on the topic are,
Christian Prayer for Dummies. It's a great, humorous look at this discipline of prayer.

This morning, due to our commissioning of Todd Jimenez and Kristen Dreyer to their new staff positions, this message SHOULD be a little shorter.

Jesus said the number one commandment is to…
"… love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind."
