Building a Prayer Life

BeginnerFlexible21 days

Prayer is talking with God, but if you're honest, it can feel awkward, repetitive, or empty. This 21-day plan walks you through what prayer is, how Jesus prayed, and how to build a prayer life that's honest, consistent, and life-changing. Each day includes a substantial Scripture passage and a guided prayer exercise.
