Hi, Here’s an ok sermon about prayer that might inspire you to do more research on possibly the most important activity you can do to increase the quality of your human experience…PRAY. Big Ideas: *Things Happen when you pray*Postures of prayers*Privacy of prayer: Secret Place Leads to Public Blessings*Persistence, Partnership, and pattern of prayer. TL:DR: Just say micro prayers all day long. Make prayer a lifestyle. What I forgot to say: We have to continue to study the psalms, prayers of Jesus and Paul as patterns for us to follow. We have to graduate to higher levels of prayer. We also should study God’s covenants and will.

Worship: Find 6 minutes, Close Your Eyes and Listen to this song 3. Wisdom: What Is the True Meaning of Life? 7 Aspects to the Meaning (Goal) of Life According to the Bible 1. To display the glory of God. 2. To seek the kingdom of God. 3. To proclaim the works of God.4. To grow in the knowledge of God. 5. To believe in the Word of God. 6. To share the love of God.7. To imitate the Son of God. Life is a process of becoming more and more like Christ in which we exercise our endurance by fixing our eyes on him, the author, and the finisher of our faith (Hebrews 12:1-2). What Does This Mean: The meaning of life, according to the Christian faith, is ultimately found in Jesus Christ. In him, the questions about identity, origin, meaning, purpose, and destiny are answered with profound hope. We are the beloved children of God, created by our heavenly Father to reflect His glory, walk in His love, and do His will in our lives. Life on earth is a journey of our transformation to become more like Jesus, who has delivered us from evil, sin, and death, until the glorious day when we spend eternity with him.
