He saved us to awaken us to life with Him right now. This life isn...

There are many ways to pray. Sometimes it's in your own words. Sometimes it's quiet listening. Sometimes it's praying in the Spirit, and sometimes it's letting Scripture give you the words. What matters most is choosing a time and a rhythm that fits your life. It could be in the morning, on the drive to work, over lunch, in the evening, or on a walk. Consistency matters more than length. When we r...
