When You Pray - Stafford - West Ridge Church

When You Pray

Do you have trouble thinking of words to say to God when you pray? Are you afraid some emotions are too intense to express to God? Do you reach the end of a day only to realize you haven’t prayed at all? You’re not alone. Prayer is the way we relate to God, but sometimes it’s a struggle. Throughout God’s Word, we encounter many voices who teach us how to pray.
In this 7-session study, join with six beloved Bible teachers who will help you study prayers in the Bible that can inspire your own. You’ll learn that God welcomes your praise and lament, your thanksgiving and intercession. You’ll see examples of how to pray when you’re alone and when you’re gathered with others. Above all, you’ll notice there’s no one right way to pray. As you draw near to God through prayer, you’ll find your faith strengthened and your heart united to Christ.

Leader: Shannon Stafford

I’m Shannon! I’ve been walking with the Lord for 27 years. I have a 2-year-old son and am happily married to my husband, Joel. I’ve been on staff at West Ridge for 8 years, and I am passionate to see the women of our church draw closer to the Lord. I have walked many different roads with Jesus, all the way from divorce to the loss of parents. I have personally experienced the redemptive power and comfort of the Lord on the mountain top and in the valley. My prayer is that you, too, will experience the fullness of God as you walk closely with Him.
