Preparing In Surrender If there is one thing that I want to encourage you with before we dive headfirst into our 40 days of prayer in the Psalms, it would be this wisdom from the missionary, Hudson Taylor: “You must go forward on your knees.” I think we tend to live life backward from the way […]
Prepare Your Heart Friends, as we get ready to begin a bible study on prayer, we wanted to use today to check our hearts. Let’s take a minute to ask God to really search us and know us – and to show us what keeps us from a prayer-saturated life. Grab your Bible and journal […]
Join us for Lent in the Psalms As Lent begins next Wednesday, we will begin digging into the Psalms and praying through the Scriptures following our Breathe Study.
