If you've ever wondered how to pray, you're in good company: so did the disciples. That's why Jesus gives us a framework, not a formula, for effective prayer.
As the people of God — a chosen people, a royal priesthood, God’s special possession — prayer is not optional. It's not a last resort. The call to prayer is nothing less than entering into the zone of the kingdom of heaven.
The psalms are more than worshipful poems — they are indispensable for the Christian life. Add them to your armory, and they will help you renew your mind with longing for your home in Christ.
It's OK to feel lonely during the holidays. These reflections and prayers will remind you that you are part of God's family, and he is always with you.
