Prayer: Connection Over Perfection

This sermon promotes prayer as a vital, accessible relationship with God, dispelling the misconception that it requires perfection or expertise. Pastor Maggie emphasizes prayer as a living conversation, highlighting its relational aspect over transactional requests. She outlines three key actions: pausing to create space for connection, persisting in prayer despite challenges, and being honest with God about struggles. Finally, she uses the Lord’s Prayer as a framework, dividing prayer into four stages: rejoicing in God’s presence, asking for needs and God's will, contemplating God’s kingdom, and yielding to God's plan.
