By Jeanne Johnson This last semester of Equip Her I attended the class, “The Daniel Prayer,” a study written by Billy Graham’s daughter, Anne Graham Lotz. As I was praying about this blog, I clearly heard God speak. And, well, can I be real transparent? What God revealed to me hurt. I was sad, humbled …
Seated at His Side
By Ashley Synowicki EPH 2:4-10 But God, being rich in mercy, because of the great love with which he loved us, even when we were dead in our trespasses, made us alive together with Christ—by grace you have been saved—and raised us up with him and seated us with him in the heavenly places in Christ …

Prayer Strategy
{Marlys Burgett shared with us during class this week, drawing from her own experience crafting a prayer strategy from this study} Some of you have asked about the Prayer Strategy Cards that are located in the back of the book. I’m sure some of you have filled them out. But if not, I thought I …
No Words . . . Just Jesus

Deliver Us
One final request hangs ominously in the last verse of Matthew’s record of the Lord’s Prayer, “deliver us from the evil one.” For if we need deliverance, that means we have been caught by an enemy. Yes, we have an enemy - the devil. He is the Father of Lies, a disrupter of peace, a twister …

Immerse Yourself in Prayer
Consider this quote about prayer: “It begins out of desperation – it grows into a discipline – and becomes a passion.” That desperate beginning certainly rings true. Who of us hasn’t hit--knees to the floor--and cried, “God, help!”? And that last part about being passionate for prayer? I love the way …
