Summary

The Bible tells us we will have troubles, but when we find ourselves in difficult times, what do we do? In this sermon, Pastor Allen Jackson discusses a variety of challenges—physical, emotional, relational, and political—the heroes in the Bible encountered, revealing a common theme: In the midst of their struggles, they consistently prayed. He discusses the importance of prayer, and how if we create a habit of praying, calling upon the Lord will be our natural reaction to hardship. The sermon includes practical action steps for navigating life's storms, including ways to deepen your prayer life.
