Hello, my brothers and sisters, welcome back to another Pray Together episode.

I hope that you're sensing here in 2022 that God is very active in your life through

the work he's doing in the Holy Spirit who lives within you.

If you're not sensing that, I don't really mean a feeling.

I just mean kind of a spiritual sense.

I want to pray that you will sense that because it's the truth of Scripture.

It is God who is at work in us to will and to do according to his good pleasure.

So that means he has a will for your life that he's working out.

And he is actually the one doing it in you.

And so I want you to have confidence.

I want you to have encouragement based on that.

And when we come to prayer, we are coming to prayer with a mindset that we want to move

into that will that God is doing for us.

We're going to take the situations of our life and the concerns that are on our hearts.

And lift them to the Father in a dependent childlike kind of a way.

Saying, Daddy, please take these things that are too big for me to handle.

And do what you know in your good will is best in every situation.

For instance, today we have over 30 prayer requests that we're going to be praying through.

And I want to encourage you to just get your cup of coffee, sit back and relax and let's pray

together. You can also always pause these episodes and come back to it later and continue

praying with me as we do this.

And that just reminds me, I want to remind you, please pray with me.
