Prayer: Abiding With God

Andrew Baker | John 15:1-8,16; Revelation 2:2-4 — Crying out for God to move powerfully in situations is good and right, but when prayer becomes solely about transactions and outcomes, we reduce God to a means for our own end. First and foremost, prayer is an invitation to unity; an act of abiding with the God who calls us to intimate relationship with Him. Effective intercession must start with the cry: “Lord, let my heart beat with yours”.
