Welcome to the prayer course | Session 8 “SPIRITUAL WARFARE”
This week we conclude the Prayer Course - Part 1. What an amazing journey this has been, growing deeper in our relationship with God and with others. As we get ready for Session 8, here are Pete’s main points from Session 7:
We are designed to walk and talk with God.
Slow down, Soften up.
When listening to God, remember ABC: Advice, Bible, Common Sense.
In Session 8 we’ll look closely at the ways we can pray God’s kingdom come in the midst of a spiritual battle.

CONFESSION And reconciliation
Before you conclude part 1 of The Prayer Course, we want to encourage you to explore these three prayer practices as well. Confessing sin is a core part of the Lord’s prayer, “Forgive us our sins, as we forgive those who sin against us”. Experiencing the compassion and mercy of God on a consistent basis is a central part of life as disciples of Jesus. Confession opens us up to receiving God’s grace.
