     | 1,078 views

    The Book of Nehemiah has more than some people realize. This series focuses on the recorded prayers of Nehemiah as he, a Persian royal official, served the LORD God of Israel.

    A Solid Starting Point For Effective Prayer Series

    Contributed by Jim Butcher on Apr 9, 2025
     | 659 views

    The beginning of the Lord's Prayer is the words "Our Father in heaven." This starts our prayer with the fact that we are asking for help. How does this phrase encourage us in that direction?

    Jonah prayed wrong and selfishly because he did not understand the heart of God. Jesus set the example and taught His disciples how to pray. If we align our lives to God’s will and pray accordingly there will be great transformation in our lives and in that of those around us.
