Episode Synopsis

Prayer isn’t a performance. It’s not a checklist or a one-way monologue. It’s a deeply personal, two-way conversation with the God who knows and loves you. In this message, we explore what it means to live a life of private prayer—rooted in intimacy, honesty, and consistency.📖 Main Scriptures: Genesis 18, Exodus 33, Psalms, Luke 10, Mark 1“Prayer is not monologue, but dialogue.
