As 2018 was drawing to a close, I felt a clear conviction from the Holy Spirit to begin 2019 with an emphasis on prayer. This became a sweet season for me as I dove down deep into the Lord's Prayer from Matthew chapter 6 for the first few weeks of 2019. I so enjoyed presenting to you every week out of what the Lord had taught me.
But then it faded.
Within a few months of finishing the series, my prayer life was growing stagnant again. I realized that I had forgotten the joy I had received from praying this prayer every day and using it as an outline to guide my prayer life.
In this time of desperation, I want to grow in prayer again. I've had so many people comment on these sermons over the last fifteen months, that I have become convinced they may be helpful to us as a body again.
So here's what I'm doing.
I'm watching every sermon again and releasing the videos with some additional comments. With each sermon, I will share with you what I wish I had remembered and applied. I will be honest about the times I fall short of the life of prayer I long for, and I will clarify some things I did not say clearly the first time around.
I am also giving you a prayer guide I developed at the time that leads you through how to pray the Lord's Prayer every day. I hope it will be a blessing to you.
So here is the first video, I hope the Lord will use it to take you deeper in your relationship to Him. I will plan to add two videos a week to this page throughout April while adding additional thoughts to each video.
May the Lord bless us as we lean into a deeper relationship with Him.
