In this new booklet from Project Connect, the ways God answers prayer, why praying is important, and the words of our prayers are considered. An examination of “The Lord’s Prayer” offers valuable insights into this magnificent and simple, little prayer, which Jesus gave His disciples. When we pray we speak from our heart to the very Maker of the universe. We give Him our hopes, our fears, our longings, and our sorrows. In return, He comforts us, settles our hearts, and gives us courage to move on with the strength necessary to face what is before us. This booklet will give readers valuable insights into the power of prayer and why coming before God daily is an essential part of every Christian’s faith-walk.
