Our Father

DAY TWO: 7 Day Prayer Guide

When you pray, say, ”Our Father in heaven.”  Luke 11:2 NLV

For a new disciple of Jesus, prayer can feel intimidating or somewhat of a mystery. What do I say? Do I kneel, sit or stand? How long do I pray? Do I close my eyes or keep them open? Thankfully, the disciples asked Jesus how to pray. Jesus gives his disciples an excellent guide, outline, or format we should follow today!

Your Time Is Valuable!

Our time on this earth is limited, Yes we will live for eternity, but our days on earth are numbered. So we must maximize what we do with our time. We need to re-evaluate our priorities!

When you think of worship – what do most people think of?

• We think of singing songs in church
• Singing the latest worship song in your car
• Putting on your favorite worship playlist on YouTube

 John 4:23 - But an hour is coming, and is now here, when the true worshipers will worship the Father in Spirit and in truth. Yes, the Father wants such people to worship him.

The steadfast love of the Lord never ceases, his mercies never come to an end; they are new every morning; great is your faithfulness.
