RHYTHMS 3: A Life of Prayer

In the third week of our "Rhythms" series, we shift our focus to the essential spiritual discipline of prayer. While prayer can sometimes feel like a routine chore or a casual "intercom" system, it is actually a powerful privilege that allows us to communicate directly with God as our "Abba, Father" through the access provided by Jesus. This episode explores how prayer functions as a "walkie-talkie on the battlefield," keeping us connected to our Commander amidst the spiritual struggles of daily life. We discuss how the primary purpose of prayer isn't simply to "get stuff" from God, but to shape our hearts, foster dependence, and realign our lives with His will. To help build this habit, we introduce the P.R.A.Y. model—Praise, Repent, Ask, and Yield—providing a practical pattern to move prayer from a performance for others into a rewarding, intentional daily rhythm. Join us as we challenge ourselves to set aside dedicated time each day to stay connected to God through the power of prayer. (Preached by Steve Coots to youth on Jan 28, 2026)
