How do I pray?
“Embracing Personal Prayer” helps followers of Christ answer this question in practical ways and encourages them to move toward maturity in prayer. In this course you will take a closer look at Jesus’s life of prayer. Learners will examine their own prayer lives and discover tools to help in the process of entering personal prayer. Methods such as fasting, listening, using Scripture and hymns, journaling, and intercession prayer will help you grow in practical ways. In addition, learners will explore intimacy with God and determine how to move to a more personal prayer life that builds a closer relationship to the Savior.
You will need a copy of “Lord Teach Us to Pray” by Margie Burger. This book will help you understand that prayer is a relationship with our Heavenly Father that grows and matures over time.
