Let’s be honest – we all need to pray more and to pray more often. We need to prayer better. We need to pray more effectively. And, truthfully, we need to enjoy praying more. This Easter, we at the Chapel of the North Hills challenge you to learn more about prayer as we read the Bible together for 40 days on the subject of prayer. Each day, we will focus on a short passage of Scripture to help us develop the dual habits of Bible reading and prayer. Did you catch that? This 40-day challenge is not just about reading the Bible about prayer – it is about regularly praying. The goal is not only to hear the Word, but also to do it. You can follow along with daily videos be searching Chapel of the North Hills on Facebook and YouTube.
