Pastor Rick Warren

A Beginner’s Guide to Prayer — Part One

September 12, 2024

Have you ever wondered what prayer accomplishes, what God does with your prayers, or how you should even pray? In this broadcast series, Pastor Rick teaches how to develop an effective prayer life that will transform every area of your life.

We often treat prayer like a magical wand we wave at God when we want our dreams to come true. But prayer is a conversation with God, and God wants you to keep the conversations going! Join Pastor Rick as he teaches in this message the importance of consistent prayer.

Prayer is not a formal ceremony that requires you to follow a set pattern for God to hear you. In this message, Pastor Rick shows you how to talk to God in simple and sincere ways and explains why longer prayers are not necessarily stronger prayers.
