A Praying Church

From the message this past Sunday here is the list pastor Steev gave in regards to the substance of Christian prayer. You might also find it good to listen to the entire message. And Mystery highly recommend the book A Praying Life by Paul Miller. You can purchase it at our resource wall or via Amazon.

This is not an exhaustive list but merely some thoughts on the content of a Christians prayer as we look at the Apostle Pauls example in Acts and Ephesians.

Prayer Should be:

God Centered

Trinitarian

Reverent

Worshipful

Thankful

Thoughtful

Confessional

Repentant

Relational

Intimate

Kingdom Minded

Missional

Intercessory

Intentional

About Listening as well as Speaking

Specific

Simple

Spirit Filled

Corporate

Continual

Confident & Expectant
