Desperate Times Call for Desperate Prayers Apr 14, 2025

Show notes

Have you ever had to lift up a desperate prayer? Throughout the Bible, we see people in desperate need to seek God through prayer. In today's podcast, we'll look at their desperate prayers, and God's responses to those prayers, that we may learn more about prayer in our own desperate situations.
Key Takeaways:
• In our desperate times, there is a pouring out and a casting. It's not holding in all our feelings and emotions while trying our best to act as if they don't exist. It's being real with God about what we want, what's hurting us, and what's troubling us.
• It's important not only to be desperate for our prayer to simply be answered but to be desperate for the God who answers prayers.
• We serve a God who knows what it's like to be desperate, to suffer, to hurt. We are never alone. When we find ourselves in situations where God is all we have, we often discover He's all we ever needed.

Making Time for Prayer When Life is Busy Mar 10, 2025

The stress, pressure, and overwhelm we feel in busy seasons of our lives does not come from God. Jesus gives us peace, no matter how busy life may get.

Key Takeaways
• We can't compartmentalize our relationship with God and feel like the only time God is pleased with us is when we're praying.
• God is not going to be less powerful if we don't spend time praying to Him today. We will be less powerful if we do not spend time praying to Him today.
• There is nothing that can fill you up like God can.
