A nine-week prayer journal and Bible study inspired by The Lord's Prayer.

Every good relationship requires open and consistent communication, and our relationship with God is no different. Over the course of nine weeks, using The Lord's Prayer as our model, we will draw near to God through prayer and Scripture. Jesus is our example in all things, so we'll apply His teachings on prayer to our own lives and experience the blessings of peace, hope, joy, and love as we come to the Father.

Each day's lesson includes a short devotion, a Scripture reference, a thought-provoking question, and space for your own prayer.

We will learn to pray daily, approaching God in both spirit and truth, and as a result, deepen our faith and strengthen our prayer life. My hope is that we grow more confident and comfortable in talking to God. These intimate conversations bring us into the Lord's presence and give us a glimpse of Heaven's glories-and that's something we don't want to miss out on.

Let's embark on this wonderful journey of growing closer to the Lord, one precious encounter at a time.
