A great obstacle and hindrance to answered prayer is disobedience to the known will of God. God has a will, plan and purpose for each and every life. That includes yours and mine. His will is revealed by His written Word, and by His Spirit bearing witness within our hearts, leading, guiding and directing us. […]
Unfortunately, with our lives running at break-neck speed, prayer often flat-lines or we are at a loss for what to pray. We often settle for vague prayers that ask little of God. God never settles for less than His best and neither should we. We have a big God, who can handle big requests. Simple […]
“Pray to receive great truth; Pray to humble your spirit; Pray to manage your destiny.

Prayer provides a powerful way to connect with your spiritual guidance and, if applied correctly, gives huge relief and reduction in […]
For those who have been affected by alcoholism, para-alcoholism, dysfunction, and abuse, and seek recovery in twelve-step fellowships, the Serenity Prayer recited at the beginning of their meetings is integral to the process. “The Serenity Prayer… represents a concentrated measure of serenity, humility, courage, wisdom, and spirituality in 25 words,” according to the Adult Children […]
