YOU DON'T KNOW HOW TO PRAY:

NOW WHAT?

​

Prayer is one of the most familiar practices of the Christian life, yet it is also one of the most difficult to understand. Why pray if God already knows what we need? What are we to make of prayers that seem to go unanswered? May we complain to God, question him, or even cry out in anger? What do I do when I can't pray? And what does Jesus mean when he teaches us to pray, “Our Father”?

 

Over these four weeks, we will look at prayer not as a technique for getting God’s attention or persuading him to act, but as the response of faith to the God who has already spoken his promise to us. We will listen to Jesus, the Psalms, Paul, and the voices of lament in Scripture as we ask what it means to pray when faith is strong, when it is weak, and when God seems silent.
