Rooted in the Prayer | Rooted, Week 3
Ayren Nelson
Colossians 4:2 (ESV)
A healthy prayer life is evidence of a healthy relationship with God.
Colossians 2:6-7 (ESV)
Colossians 4:2a (ESV)
1 Thessalonians 5:17 (ESV)
Misconception #1: We don’t know if we’re doing it right.
Matthew 6:5-7 (ESV)
Prayer that pleases God and strengthens our relationship with Him is about humility and authenticity. Not performance.
Misconception #2: We’re not sure prayer changes anything.
Colossians 1:15-17 (ESV)
2 Corinthians 12:7-10 (ESV)
The purpose of prayer is not for me to get what I want, but to humble me to the point of trusting what He wants for me.
Matthew 7:7-11 (ESV)
Prayer is not passive. Prayer is partnering with God for the transformation of the world, or it is the place where we cooperate with God for the transformation of our hearts and souls. In His grace and mercy, He often grants us both. We only need the eyes to see it.
Misconception #3: Life is going well enough on its own.
Luke 17:19 (ESV)
The blessing in prayer is not getting what we want. The blessing is God Himself.
