ARE YOU ON A PRAYER FAST?
"A person who does not read has no advantage over a man who cannot read." ~ Mark Twain

If you know God but choose not to talk with Him through prayer, you are forfeiting an opportunity to experience the amazing peace of God.

When is the last time you prayed? And I don't mean a standard pre-meal blessing, I mean thoughtful prayer for your family, encumbrances, business decisions, relationships, and more.

The world will direct you to places or pills for peace, but as believers, we have the advantage of knowing where to find the peace that passes all understanding. Why don't we spend more time there?

Think of the power of prayer and imagine how the world would change if every believer increased their prayer time by just 30 minutes a day.

A meaningful prayer doesn't have to be formal or scripted. You don't have to kneel, close your eyes, or even be in church to pray. You don't have to pray on a schedule.

You just have to pray.
A prayer hack you can use immediately
Just Do It!

And do it with shameless audacity, as Jesus tells us in Luke 11.

If you've been on a prayer fast, it's time to end it. And if you pray regularly, pray more. Don't delay another second; pause now and pray. Your Father wants to hear from you!

So just do it!
We have three great events this week and we'll be praying at all of them. I look forward to seeing you around the chamber!
