Summary
In today’s First15, we’re going to continue our week long focus on tilling the soil of the heart by looking at the power of prayer. There is no better way to soften our hearts towards God than making space to have a real conversation with him. His voice breaks down our walls. His answers give us the peace and direction we need. And his presence, simply resting in him, builds a solid foundation of connection we need to live open and responsive to him throughout our day. May God do a mighty work in us today as we discover the power of prayer.
