In John 17:20-21, Jesus prays for us (that’s right, you and me!) and he asks that we may be one with him and the Father just as he and the Father are one! Not that we might be united in some type of metaphysical, Star Wars like Force, but that we might share in an intimate, honest, grace-filled and personal relationship with God. A relationship that’s as close as Jesus’ relationship is with the Father! What! That’s mind blowing! Yet, I believe not many Christians are experiencing this level of intimate and honest communion with the Father that Jesus gave his life for.

            In this class, we will be reading and discussing Paul Miller’s book, A Praying Life, and we will be praying. For the best way to grow in prayer with God is to pray to God! In, A Praying Life, Paul Miller provides the biblical framework and a practical prayer tool called “prayer cards”, upon which we can begin to pursue, establish and grow a real and working relationship with the Father.

            So join us as we seek to take hold of and live in the personal and grace-filled relationship with God that Jesus prayed for and gave his life for us to enjoy forever!
