A Beginner's Guide to Prayer
Humans have been given the incredible privilege of communicating with God through prayer. We'll be learning more about prayer during Session 7 of this course but you don't have to wait until then to begin laying the foundation for a fruitful and powerful prayer life.
You will be encouraged to do this by engaging in Stage 1 of A Beginner's Guide to Prayer throughout the remainder of this course. You should find a copy of this guide located in your Greenhouse binder behind the Foundations of the Christian Faith divider. If not, you can download and print a copy of the document below.
Read over the guide now and practice Stage 1 before your next meeting.
