Young Adult Prayer Challenge Day 1

1

Day 1 of our 21 Days of Breakthrough Prayer has some tough questions for us to answer. Why is prayer so hard? Why has the privilege of corporate prayer become so unattractive to Christians?

We want to pray – or at least we say we do, but we don’t.  Why not? Do we really believe that prayer changes people and situations? Do we really believe that prayer opens doors and moves mountains? Do we really believe prayer guides us and opens the door for joy and peace in our lives?

Read the following passages of scripture today, and comment back to the blog so everyone can see your thoughts:

  • Matthew 17:20
  • 2 Chronicles 7:14
  • 1 John 5:14-15
  • Matthew 6:6

E.M. Bounds said it this way:

“The church is looking for better methods; God is looking for better men… The Holy Ghost does not flow through methods, but through men. He does not come on machinery, but on men…men of prayer.”

Have you been living your Christian life apart from the only One who can do the impossible in you? Today can start a change!

go to www.acts413.net/21days to see the prayers for each day.  It is worth your time to listen to them after you read each day.

I love you guys and ladies!
