Hear My Prayer

<p><strong>Does prayer matter?</strong></p><p>What we believe about prayer reflects what we believe about God. Maybe you believe God is all-powerful and wise, but not attentive to your little corner of the world? Fortunately, the Bible tells us a different story. Over and over again, we are reminded that God is both great <em>and</em> good, and that we are cared for and fully known by him. So God welcomes all our prayers and invites us to pray about <em>everything</em>—to entrust him with all things both big and small, joyful and enraging, and to pray fervently.</p><p>Whether you consider yourself a prayer warrior or prayer newbie (or even a prayer skeptic), you are invited to join this six-week Bible study experience. Liz Ditty, an experienced spiritual director and retreat leader, invites groups and individuals to experience dozens of ways to pray alone and together.
