by Marci Ferrell
Bible Study Christian Living Podcast Prayer Spiritual Discipleship Time Management

Having a quiet time with the Lord every day is absolutely essential if you expect to grow spiritually. But you have to plan it. It won't "just happen." @mferrell

  As Christians, we all desire to grow more and more into the image of Jesus. We want to "keep killing sin", we want to "love others as we love ourselves" and mostly we want to know and love Jesus more because all those other good things will follow if that is our first pursuit. You can read the post below in (6 minutes) or listen in to the podcast (18 minutes) where I share more content.

Prayer reminds us we are dependent on God for every aspect of our lives and we grow in that relationship by communing with Him in prayer. @mferrell

Prayer is simply talking to God. As believers, we have access to God the Father through our relationship with Jesus Christ. Prayer reminds us we are dependent on God for every aspect of our lives and we grow in that relationship by communing with Him in prayer.
