Obstacles to Effective Prayer

The title of this post is the same as our next session - "Obstacles to Effective Prayer".  As followers of Jesus, we could agree that communicating (talking AND listening) with God through prayer is essential to growing closer to Him, increasing our understanding of His plan for us, trusting His plan, and seeing how He wants to use us for His kingdom and His glory. 

Charles Stanley describes how some of King David’s prayers are recorded in the Psalms. There we read how he praised the Lord, confessed sin, and cried out about his troubles. He also asked God to hear his prayers and not be silent (Ps. 28:1).

 We all want to pray effectively like David, right? But to do so, we should know what the Bible says about the obstacles to our prayer lives being effective.

Finally!

Whew...after a long weekend of coding (yes, I labored on Labor Day), we've launched the redesigned Equip U website.  Obviously, you know this from the fact that you're reading this, and thanks for visiting.

We streamlined the site to put all of the resources from each course (Financial University, Relationship University, Apologetics University, and now, Conversations with God) on one page, including video links, notes, handouts, slides, and more.  You'll find links to the free archived content on the left side of this page.

Equip U was able to get our hands on footage of Ernie's late delivery of our replacement stool last spring during Apologetics University, as well as a special delivery for Dr. Meier.

Public library use is on the rise.  Are you taking advantage of all they have to offer?  http://is.gd/hx5C

Been offered a "business opportunity" with no products or overhead?? Read this missive about Charles Ponzi: http://is.gd/hx8D

If you're not familiar with Liz Weston, she has a great personal finance Q&A feature on her website, good use of your time if you have questions. http://is.gd/hxLs

I hope you can join us tonight for Relationship University, 7 pm at Living Word Christian Center.  Our topic is “Finances – More than Money.” We're going to look at ways we can improve our relationship to finances and in turn improve our relationships. Also, our webcast starts at 7 pm - to view it, go here: http://www.lwcc.org/webcast.
