I spent a weekend in September at Sharp Top Cove in the beautiful mountains of North Georgia with my small group girls and the rest of the BBCC Inside Out students (about 560 for the weekend). It was an amazing weekend that I needed and will never forget. Our small group grew so much closer with each other and our relationship with the Lord.
The subject of the weekend was prayer. Sounds boring, right? It
wasn't.
We were presented with a new way of thinking about prayer.
How do we usually pray? "Lord, give me, protect me and bless me."
That's not necessarily a bad thing. But Jesus taught us a better way to pray.
"Lord, I want to know you."
"Lord, take the lead."
"Lord, use me."
These are three prayers the Lord will always answer. This is how we plan on teaching our kids to pray. Since I've been praying those simple prayers the past few weeks, God has moved drastically in my life. If you feel like you need to hear from God, pray those three sentences. Then, get ready because he will answer them and move in your heart.
