What is prayer?

What does it mean to have a life of prayer? And what does it look like? We’re told to “pray continually” (1 Thessalonians 5:17), but is that even possible?

Explore the prayer model that Jesus gave to His disciples to find out more about what prayer is (and what it isn’t!) And enjoy rediscovering many of the promises God gives us in the Bible about our unrestricted, unlimited, 24/7 access to Him!

This resource includes:

• a biblical introduction to what prayer is
• a section-by-section look at the Lord’s Prayer
• guidance on confession, forgiveness and dependence
• reflection on thanksgiving, continual prayer and fasting
• teaching on prayer as a means of knowing God and being formed by Him
