I\u2019m a recovering prayer wimp. For years my prayers seemed to zig, then zag, then zig again. Maybe you can relate. Perhaps your prayer life could use a tune up, a reboot? If that sounds overwhelming, I\u2019m inviting you to a simpler plan. Four minutes, plus four weeks, equals forever change! Every day for four weeks, pray for four minutes, focusing on these core elements of prayer:<\/p>\n

Father, You are good.<\/em><\/p>\n

I need help.<\/em><\/p>\n

They need help.<\/em><\/p>\n

Thank you.<\/em><\/p>\n

It\u2019s that simple. Really! Talking with God doesn\u2019t have to be complicated or complex. The power isn\u2019t in the words we pray, but in the One who\u00a0hears them. Here\u2019s my challenge for you: every day for four weeks, pray four minutes. Then get ready to connect with God like never before.<\/p>\n
