Dallas Willard says, “Prayer is talking with God about matters of mutual concern.” Simple. Basic. But how do we go about doing prayer? Prayer begins with ATTITUDE. No matter how many times or ways you pray, if your attitude is not to acknowledge that God is God, prayer is useless. Prayer's one goal is CONVERSATION …
Conversing with an Almighty God
By Shereen Lynn It’s difficult to talk about something like prayer . . . especially when I tell you our vision statement for Equip Her includes a hope that you will become acquainted with ceaseless prayer during your time with us.

Equipped for Prayer
Today we’ll examine the final pillar in our Equip Her bible studies, Prayer. Our throwback post is an excerpt from a talk given by Katie Kafka, our Prayer Team coordinator, in February of 2017.

Finding our Way through Prayer

No Words . . . Just Jesus
I've enjoyed having this past month's prayer verse sitting by the sink in my kitchen. As I look out my window onto the beautiful fall colors, I'm reminded that "His mercies are over all his works." On Tuesday Morning, we were invited to pick up a new prayer verse for the month of November. For …

On Tuesday Morning our Prayer Team Coordinator, Katie Kafka, shared with us on prayer: I must say that for me personally, speaking about prayer is rather humbling.
