The Redeemed Man
Are We Praying for God’s Will, or Our Own?
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Prayer is the bedrock of discipleship; ideally, it’s a daily practice that brings us into a closer relationship with God. Yet it still feels daunting to so many of us. Are we praying often enough, and for long enough? Are we having a conversation with God, or just rattling off a list of wishes? Are we bringing our true selves to him, or just putting on a performance?
For this week’s episode, Redeemed founder Paul Amos and ministry director Nate Dewberry christen our new Atlanta podcast studio with an in-depth discussion on prayer, the misconceptions even devout Christ-followers have about it, and what we can do to feel more fulfilled and connected to God in our daily prayer lives. No step-by-step instructions here, because there’s no single “right” way to pray—but there are some thought-provoking suggestions and guidance for ensuring that what’s central to our prayers is not our wishes and desires, but God’s.
