Welcome to the prayer course | Session 6 “CONTEMPLATION”

We’re on week 6 of the Prayer Course! We hope that you and your group are growing deeper in your individual and group prayer lives.

As we get ready for Session 6, here are Pete’s main points from Session 5:

  • The Bible is honest about unanswered prayer – we are part of a faith that is all about wrestling. 

  • God’s world, God’s war, God’s will. 

  • God’s silence is not the same as His absence.

In Session 6, In this session, we’ll discover how spending time with God in silence can enrich our relationship with Him.
