My Friend Chris

A few months ago, I put together an idea for a guided prayer series to potentially use at our church.  My hope was that it would help people grow in their understanding, discipline and love of prayer. Learning what prayer can look like and why it matters. Demystifying something that can often be perceived as complex and hard to understand! After recently listening back to it, I thought… I think I should share this with people. And then I thought… I think this could be a helpful prayer to pray in this season and as we approach 2025 No matter what life looks like right for you right now…I hope it encourages you. And reminds you that there is a good and faithful God that loves you.  Lets go after it together friends :)

Is there something in your life that once brought you joy, that doesn't anymore? Maybe it's a hobby, job, relationship or your faith. What ever it is... What if that joy you once lost, could be taken back and found again? I think it can. I want that for me and I want that for you too! Let's go after it together friendssss!

Often within my job, I get the opportunity to share with others what God is doing in my life. Or what I am learning from God in what ever season I am in. It's a joy. And today I'm unpacking the idea that when God looks at us... no matter what or who He is looking at, He says... "Oh. I can work with that" Let's go after it together friends.
