Would you like prayer to feel more natural to you? Do you want an ongoing conversation with the Lord throughout the day? Would you like to believe, truly believe, that God wants to hear your prayers?

Then the Pray First emphasis this summer is for you! We will Pray First from June 1 to August 31.

Praying first is a matter of timing and priority. Of course, do it first—before you do anything else. But also make pray a matter of first importance.

“I urge, then, first of all, that petitions, prayers, intercession and thanksgiving be made for all people…” — 1 Timothy 2:1

When you wake up in the morning — pray first. When your spouse says something hurtful, before responding — pray first. Before you post on social media — pray first. If you’re thinking about selling your house — pray first. If you want to invite a neighbor to a BBQ — pray first. Fill in the blank — prayer first!

Together, this summer, we will encourage one another to pray.
