“Believers do not pray with the view of informing God about things unknown to him, or of exciting him to do his duty, or of urging him as though he were reluctant. On the contrary, they pray in order that they may arouse themselves to seek him, that they may exercise their faith in meditating on his promises, that they may relieve themselves from their anxieties by pouring them into his bosom; in a word, that they may declare that from him alone they hope and expect, both for themselves and for others, all good things.” John Calvin

“Prayer does not change God, but it changes those who prays.” Soren Kierkegaard

Things to consider:
1. Do you resonate with the need to pray?
2. Do you have a prayer routine? How could you create one?
3. Look up the Prayers of Paul to find a roadmap or guide to follow as you pray.
4. Pray with a pencil this week. Underline things in your Bible that feel like God speaking to you. Listen and write or draw what you hear.

When we are uncomfortable because we are being challenged/convicted by God's Word ... welcome it, embrace it, learn from it, be open to change
Ultimately, God cares much more about your character than your comfort level and will do what it takes to transform you into the image of Christ

Questions:
Is life supposed to be comfortable?
Does living by faith make life easy?
Does following Christ provide comfort for us or create challenges for us ... or both?
