WHEN YOU PRAY | Part 4 | I Give You Access

April 01, 2022 03:00 - 34 minutes - 23.8 MB

“To live a prayer-less life is to live your spiritual life on fumes.” - Tony Evans  Prayer is oxygen to the disciple of Jesus Christ.  We can't know God and have the intimate relationship with him that He desires if we're not praying.  God cares about every part of you and has the capabilities to meet your every need.

(NET), and three things we gather about honoring God in our prayer in this one verse.
