Awakened to Grace :: Prayer
Prayer often feels awkward, boring, or intimidating but what if prayer isn’t about saying the right words or trying harder to get God’s attention?
In this week's message, we begin a new series called Awakened to Grace by exploring prayer as a way of waking up to the grace that is already present in our lives. Drawing from Psalm 86 and the wisdom of the Psalms, this sermon reframes prayer not as performance, but as honest relationship.
We look at four simple movements of prayer: we speak, God listens, God speaks, we listen, and why the most difficult (and most important) part might be learning to listen. This message is an invitation to stop performing, start telling the truth, and create space to hear a God who is already near.
If you’ve ever felt like you’re bad at prayer, distracted in prayer, or unsure whether God is listening, this one’s for you.
