Go Further - Resurrect a Dead Prayer Life
As authentic Christ-followers, when we’re in the New Heavens and New Earth, we’ll be glad we prioritized prayer. And let’s pull it back into this life … we'll be glad in the seasons of life and at the end of our lives that we cultivated a rich prayer life.
Prayer is a core element of our partnership with heaven. In prayer, we are conformed to the nature of the Sovereign King. We pick up his heart and intent. Then we activate the jurisdiction he has assigned us in the earth.
O the power of private prayer! I hath a kind of omnipotency in it. —Thomas Brooks, Puritan
