Day 3 of Lent – March 4, 2022

We will be talking about Prayer. God is always listening. Keep on praying. 

If you are looking to expand your Prayer Circle – below are some suggestions on who to pray for. Praying for your enemies or those people who you just don’t like or rub you the wrong way – those are the people you need to pray for the most. Rise above, God can do big things thru prayer – even if it isn’t blatantly obvious.

The function of Prayer is not to influence God but rather to change the nature of the one who Prays. 

Tips to remember when praying for People

Don’t feel like you have to tell someone you are praying for them. 
Pray for the unknown, don’t be getting all in someone’s business in the name of Prayer. 
Use this practice to grow spiritually
