The IMportance of PRayer

4/24/2017

0 Comments

 
As a young Mom who also requires physical therapy before leaving the house in the morning, the idea that quiet time is the only way to pray is BS.  For years I've felt like young, busy parents were just not going to have good prayer lives because of the pressure in may circles to have an extended "quiet time" every morning.  Now, I've learned to pray in single sentences.

​It keeps me close to God during the day, and also really enriches my prayer life.  Another advantage is that my 5 year old can also easily pray in one sentences, so it is good modeling.

I'm inviting Calvary to join in five week of daily three sentence prayers.  See the postcards below that I'll be handing out on my first Sunday as part of my sermon, or download the publisher file here to modify it for your own congregation.
