A Great Way To Start Out The New Year

We had a great Sunday Morning Bible Study this morning! We had a great turnout with a great spirit. I was really challenged in my prayer life this week. As we start out a new year I think it is fitting to re-evaluate our prayer lives. Here are some of the thoughts on prayer that we talked about this morning.

Sanding Strong In Prayer
Ephesians 6:18

I. The Power of Prayer
A. Prayer is what we do once we are clothed in the armor of God
B. The main reason many Christians are weak is because they do not pray
II. The Problem with Prayer
A. We get distracted during prayer
B. We get distracted from praying
C. Four stages Satan has for your prayer life
1. Prayerlessness - Keeps you too busy or distracted
2. Burden Bearing - When we don't pray we carry the burden ourselves
3. Weariness - When we carry our own burdens we get tired
4. Weakness - We are focused on ourselves
III. The Proper Position of Prayer
A. Bow the knee - Shows submission and reliance
B. Get alone with God - Pay attention to God

These are some thoughts that will help you when the enemy strikes, and now you have them just in case you missed it!
