Prayer from Nehemiah 1 | May 24 | Luke Dahlenburg


“Which is more important: to read the Bible, or to pray?”

Enjoy prayer and grow in confidence.

If you are too busy to pray, for the health of your faith, that must change. Simple habits: Don’t open your phone until you pray. Pray instead of music or radio in the car.
