One of the ways we best learn how to pray is to read the prayers in Scripture. Another valuable way to grow in our desire to pray and how to do it is from reading the prayers of faith heroes from the past. This episode of 2Days Denarius podcast is devotionally-focused on the value of short prayers. There are four prayers from select early church fathers that are presented and discussed based on the ACTS (Adoration, Confession, Thanksgiving, Supplication) prayer model. It's a wonderful devotional experience that all of us will benefit from in enhancing our prayers and spiritual growth.

Luke 18:9-14 - How to Pray 101 - Pastor Dan PlourdeMESSAGE NOTES:http://www.calvaryword.com/Luke/a1402.pdf

In this powerful message, "A MasterClass in Prayer," Pastor Derek Holmes unpacks Jesus’ response to one of the most profound requests ever made: “Lord, teach us to pray” (Luke 11:1-13). What unfolds is not just a model for prayer, but a window into the very heart of God. Pastor Derek reminds us that prayer isn’t merely a transaction—about getting what we want from God—but a transformation, where we are drawn closer to the Father’s will and presence. Whether you’re new to prayer or seeking a deeper connection with God, this episode invites you to reimagine prayer as a life-shaping relationship, not a religious ritual.

What if I told you that locked within your neurobiological architecture lies an ancient energy technology so powerful it was guarded by Hawaiian Kahuna priests for centuries?! We're talking about mana force – the primordial creative current that quantum physics is only beginning to understand! These Kahuna masters weren't just spiritual practitioners – they were reality engineers who recognized that Mana – this primordial creative force– could be generated, directed, and amplified through specific protocols! They developed a technology of consciousness that allowed them to bend reality, to heal instantaneously, to manifest with precision that would seem supernatural to the uninitiated! Mana Force, written about by Madeleine C is the operating system of reality itself! It's the living, breathing current of creative potential that flows through all existence – and it's been dormant within you, waiting for the right moment, the right sequence, the right activation to come online! This is an experiential technology designed to trigger a fundamental shift in your energetic signature! Today we're not just learning about power – we're activating it. 

WELCOMEWelcome to the Everyday Disciples podcast, where we discuss what it means to follow the way of Jesus in everything, everywhere, every day.  This month, we are talking about what it means to be purposeful in prayer.WHAT IS PRAYEROur English word prayer derives from the Latin word precarious, which is fitting since we tend to most often pray in the precarious moments of life. But it is not just the precarious moments that cause us to pray. It is also those moments of wonder and awe that move us toward our Creator. A FEW FORMS OF PRAYERLiturgical - Wrote prayers such as scripture or written prayers passed through generations.Intercession - Praying on behalf of another person or for another person.Tongues/Praying in the Spirit - A gift of the Holy Spirit that we are directed has a time and place to be used (1 Cor.14:27).Worship (music or otherwise) - Adoration, confession, supplication, thanksgiving.Prophetic - Praying out what the Lord is speaking to you for someone else or people groups. WHAT WAS JESUS PATTERN OF PRAYER?Jesus modeled patterns and practices of prayer by prioritizing it in his life:At His baptism, He was praying (Luke 3:21-22)In the midst of popularity, He would withdraw and pray (Luke 5:16)Before major decisions, he would prayer, like when calling the disciples. (Luke 6:12)In times with his disciples, He prayed. (Luke 9:18)He would take close disciples away with Him to pray (Luke 9:28)Before Jesus was betrayed, He was praying (Luke 22:39-41)As Jesus was praying, His disciples asked Him to teach them to pray.

Of all the things Jesus could've prayed for before going to the cross, He prayed for unity. Why? And what does that mean for us today?In this week's message, Pastor Ken unpacks Jesus' powerful prayer from John 17 and shows how unity in the Church isn't just a nice idea—it's essential to our witness, our purpose, and our relationship with God. If you've ever struggled with tension in relationships or unforgiveness, this message is for you.Send us a text

We're kicking off a brand-new series called Prayers of Jesus, where we'll explore how Jesus prayed and what that means for us today.

If you've ever wanted a deeper, more consistent prayer life, this message is for you.Send us a text

When despair deepens and anxiety attacks, where do you turn? In the midst of blood, betrayal, conflict, and crisis, Jesus seeks a quiet place of prayer to battle. As the enemy closes in, Jesus draws closer to God, showing us the way forward. In this sermon, Andrew takes us through Luke 22:35-46 and the anguish and struggle Jesus faced as he looked ahead at what he knew had to happen. We can identify and relate to Jesus' emotions, but also learn from him and how he sought God in the midst of the pain.

Today, I'm joined by Alex Jones, Co-Founder and CEO of the Hallow app. Alex shares how his deep desire to encounter Christ in daily prayer—guided by the wisdom of the mystics—led him to create the app, despite skepticism from others. He takes us through the highs and lows of building Hallow, including the secret to raising over $100 million. Alex also shares powerful testimonies, from a grieving mother finding comfort through the app to an addicted mom reuniting with her child and husband. He even dives into the bold decision to use precious Super Bowl airtime to invite people to prayer. Alex's radical surrender to God's will and his passion for spreading the Gospel have borne incredible fruit—his story is one we can all be inspired by.Support us on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/LilaRose865A big thanks to our partner, EWTN, the world's leading Catholic network!

How To Pray

Lead with purpose with a degree from Trevecca. Find out more here. Today, on the podcast, we kick off a mini-series of Q&A with Christine Caine, hosted by Equip & Empower team member, Mattie Meese. In this episode, Christine Caine shares how prayer is the foundation of her life and ministry. Listen in to find encouragement today if you've ever wrestled with how to pray or struggled with unanswered prayers. SHOW NOTES: First Response For Christine and Nick, prayer has become a first response when navigating challenging situations in life, but it's also their first response when things are going well. Prayer is not regulated only for times of crisis but also for times of praise. “Open Mouth. Pray” A Christian speaker from South Korea forever impacted Christine when she challenged an audience to not overcomplicate prayer. She said you simply need to open your mouth, then pray. Dependency Upon God Christine shares that she cannot provide the breakthroughs needed in her life and ministry. However, prayer invites God's divine activity into our lives, expressing our utter dependence upon the Lord and our need for his intervention.

In this episode of the Tactical Living Podcast, you'll hear a powerful story about an officer who shared, “I go out into the wilderness of Colorado. I hunt, and I hunt the Lord.” This profound statement reminds us of the importance of connecting with ourselves and our higher power, especially as first responders. The demanding nature of the job often pulls you away from moments of reflection and spirituality, but finding that connection can bring clarity, peace, and resilience. Why Connecting with Yourself Matters: Discover how moments of self-reflection and spiritual connection can help you process the demands of being a first responder, improve mental clarity, and strengthen your emotional resilience. How Nature Can Amplify Your Spiritual Connection: Learn why spending time in nature can deepen your relationship with yourself and your higher power, offering a sanctuary from the chaos of everyday life. Five Practical Ways to Connect with Yourself and Your Higher Power: 1. Spend Time in Nature: Whether it's hiking, camping, or simply sitting in a park, being in nature can create space for reflection and help you feel closer to a higher power. Why It's Beneficial: Nature reduces stress and provides a sense of calm, making it easier to process emotions and seek spiritual clarity. 2. Practice Daily Prayer or Meditation: Set aside a few minutes each day to pray or meditate. This can be as simple as focusing on gratitude or asking for guidance. Why It's Beneficial: Daily spiritual practices can center your thoughts and help you navigate the challenges of your role. 3. Engage in Meaningful Hobbies: Find activities that allow you to connect with yourself, such as journaling, painting, or even hunting, as the officer in this story does. Why It's Beneficial: Creative outlets and hobbies promote mindfulness and provide a healthy way to decompress. 4. Build a Supportive Faith Community: Join a faith-based group or connect with others who share your spiritual values. Why It's Beneficial: Being part of a community creates accountability and provides encouragement to stay connected to your faith. 5. Reflect on Scripture or Inspirational Texts: Spend time reading texts that resonate with you spiritually, whether it's the Bible or other faith-based books. Why It's Beneficial: Reflecting on spiritual teachings can provide wisdom and guidance in both personal and professional challenges. The Unique Benefits for First Responders: You'll learn how connecting with your higher power helps you process trauma, reduces burnout, and reinforces your purpose in serving others. Practical Steps to Start Your Journey: Gain insights into how you can carve out time, no matter your schedule, to prioritize your spiritual and emotional well-being. Why This Matters: As a first responder, the weight of your job can sometimes feel overwhelming, but grounding yourself in faith and self-reflection can provide strength and clarity. You'll walk away from this episode with actionable ways to prioritize your spiritual connection and find renewed purpose in both your personal and professional life.

Luke 11:1-2 - Teach Us To Pray - Pastor Dan Plourde

Let's be real; it's hard to pray for any length of time without a random thought creeping in. Did I take the clothes out of the dryer? Did I finish that email I needed to send? I need to make sure I add this to the grocery list. All these things and more can easily distract us when we are trying to spend time talking to God. So, how can we combat distractions? On this episode of Everyday Theology, Ravae shares three tips to help combat distraction during prayer.ResourcesCheck out all our blogs and reading lists on prayer | https://bit.ly/3WCpllWSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Have you ever felt like praying had to be all formal with fancy words like “thee” and “thou”? It can feel a bit old-fashioned, right?

Our prayer must not be self-centered. It must arise not only because we feel our own need as a burden we must lay upon God, but also because we are so bound up in love for our fellow men that we feel their need acutely as our own. To make intercession for men is the most powerful and practical way in which we can express our love for them.- John Calvin When it comes to prayer, we often worry about the right words to say or wonder if we are praying “enough.” But Jesus teaches us in Matthew 6 that God values sincere, heartfelt prayer over eloquent, lengthy prayer.In the busyness of life, it's easy to mutter quick, repetitive prayers without much thought. But God sees the heart and wants us to come to him earnestly. The number of words we use doesn't matter; what matters is the motivation behind those words.The key is simply coming to God earnestly, trusting Him fully, whether your words are few or many. He knows what we need before we even ask. As our relationship with Him deepens, our prayers will become a lifeline, keeping us connected to the One who loves us most. Get your copy of TheMarriageGift.comCheck out all our resources shop.marriageaftergod.comfollow us on Instagram.com/marriageaftergod
