In our “Re-Enchanted” series, this week’s message tackles why prayer feels awkward in a disenchanted, flattened world—and why Scripture insists it’s anything but self-talk. From Luke 11:1–13, we rediscover prayer as bold communion with a Father. You’ll leave with a practical plan that will serve as guide rails to a daily prayer life.

(Additional Reading: James 1.5-8, 4.1-10, 5.13-18; Luke 11.1-8; Isaiah 64.5-7)

Notes:

“Until you know that life is war, you cannot know what prayer is for.”
