Prayer is not just one thing on a long list of things that Christians do. It is at the heart of what it means to be a Christian. Because of the Son, and through the power of the Spirit, we have been brought into a relationship with God as our Father.
And prayer is just living out that relationship: it is talking to the God who is our Father - talking to Him on the basis of what the Son has done and in the power of the Spirit.
So on the course we'll revisit the foundations of our relationship with God and see why we can turn to our Father in heaven with confidence that he hears us.
But we'll aim to get practical too: we’ll think what should we do when we sit down to pray and
how we can pray according to God’s will and according to our different
personalities.
