summer prayer guide
This guide has a simple aim: to help us grow in our love for God through time in His Word and prayer. The Bible teaches that in order to love God, we need a relationship with Him. Scripture and prayer are the means through which we experience, apply, and enjoy that relationship. As we learn to pray and as we learn to listen and obey the gracious overtures of God’s Word, we learn to live as God’s children— to love and trust Him more fully.
