As believers, prayer is everything to us. Hearing the voice of God and experiencing intimacy with Him is the reason for our existence.
Jesus said that to know Him and the one who sent Him is eternal life. That’s why it breaks my heart that so many believers around the world are struggling with prayer and hearing the voice of God. God’s voice is our lifeline, and intimacy with Him is our fuel. So, it is imperative that we tune into His frequency and learn to receive from Him in prayer if we are to live the abundant life that Jesus said we can.
The Old Testament clearly tells the story of many servants of God who communed with Him, wrestled with Him in prayer and were led by His commands and instructions. In the Gospels, we see Jesus going out of His way to make heart-to-heart connections with people instead of remaining aloof and distant from His creation.
God longs for intimacy with us so much so that He paid the highest price in sending His Son to die for our sins. Jesus also spent extensive time in His earthly ministry to teach on how to pray and how not to pray so we can engage with God in this way, hear His voice and experience a deep, rich intimacy with Him.
On the latest episode of Awaken Podcast, I speak with Sarah Bowling about what prayer is all about and how we as believers can connect and engage with God in our daily lives. Together, Sarah and I pull powerful revelation from the Bible to help believers spiritually and practically enrich their relationship with God. {eoa}
