Summary
As the new year begins, many of us set New Year resolutions in hopes of building better, healthier habits. Yet only 8–9% of people actually stick with their resolutions for the entire year. So what keeps us from reaching our goals?
On Reset Sunday, Pastor Charles Metcalf reveals that lasting change doesn’t come from willpower or behavior modification; it comes through prayer. This year, we’re not interested in praying wordy, empty prayers. Our goal is to pray like Jesus.As we prepare for 21 Days of Prayer and Fasting (January 5–25), this message will teach you how to develop a prayer life that doesn’t just change your habits, but transforms you from the inside out.
