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.

Humbled and Learning
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.

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.

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 …
