Let’s end our time praying together. You can say something like;
“God, thank you for wanting to have conversations with us. We need your love, guidance, and power as we dive into what prayer means in our lives. Continue to be patient with us as we learn how prayer can make a difference. In the identity and character of Jesus we pray, amen."
Prayer is harder than scrolling headlines—and that’s exactly why it matters. Jesus didn’t run on hype or people-pleasing. He ran on prayer. He didn’t pray because He lacked power; He prayed because prayer was the foundation of His power. And He invites us to ask boldly, seek intentionally, and knock persistently. There are things God may only do if you ask. Recorded live at Crossroads Church in Cincinnati, Ohio.
